Meet the Professors
What professors in the College of Education have to say about the Prospect for Success Curriculum
“Stand Up, Stand Out, Find Yourself, and Lead!”
Dr. Heather Coffey on “Intentionality”
“The best part of the PFS program is that students have access to TEALR advisors early in their college experience, which enables them to set strategic goals, plan their program of studies, and determine experiences that will prepare them to enter classrooms as teachers in four years!”
Dr. Amy Good on “Awareness”
“In our PFS classes, you will be an important part of a classroom community…and as a teacher candidate, you will participate in powerful experiences within a caring, active, and reflective environment…”
Dr. Susan Harden on “Intentionality”
“We want you to succeed!” This is the motto of the PFS program. These classes are an intentional, designed, and welcoming bridge from high school to college. PFS launches students on the road to be successful college students and outstanding educators.
Dr. Chris O’Brien on “Curiosity”
“The PFS program in the College of Education moves us away from the anonymity of large lecture classes. Students in PFS will gain more than “exposure” to new ideas. Instead, first-year students and experienced, knowledgeable faculty are engaged in deep thinking and inquiry into the critical issues and trends impacting schools today.”
Dr. Bruce Taylor on “Awareness”
“We are out in schools together for our clinicals–in classrooms talking with students, teachers and principals–and there’s this ah-ha moment when we connect what we are learning in our class with what is taking place in schools. I love seeing those lights go on.”
