There are three things that really stand out to me about my Antioch University experience so far. The core philosophy of social justice at AULA that guides the program, the focus on learning to design and implement effective lessons that are student centered, and the fact that there are no grades. At most schools, the focus is on grades first and understanding second. Antioch University is the opposite, and that has allowed me to really concentrate and listen in class. I have found that I can get involved in the discussions and achieve better understanding of the material.

I’ve always wanted to be a teacher but started a family instead. The desire to teach stayed with me and when the youngest of my four children was in high school I decided to quit working and attend college full time, a California Teaching Credential was my goal.

Going back to school as an adult at Antioch University allowed me to connect two passions together; my love of teaching and my yearning for social justice. Antioch University’s MAETC program fit my own philosophy of social justice activism.

When I first discovered Antioch University, I was extremely excited to find an entire university that shares my vision of education and the world. As we began the credential program, we were told that this year would transform us, and I was more that skeptical of this prediction. But now as I am concluding the third of 4 quarters, I find myself emerging not entirely transformed, but refined and defined, confident and prepared.

The teacher education program at Antioch University addresses my needs as a teacher of whole children. The experienced, creative professors share specific strategies and challenge us to think outside our comfort zones. The program addresses issues of social justice from all aspects: position (student, teacher, parent, and administrator), race, class, gender… it helps us decipher were we stand, who we are, and most important, what we want to do about it. It’s been a great experience to be part of a group of people who want to change the world and aren’t afraid to let other people know it.
