I am in disbelief that a month of summer has come to an end. My head is still spinning from the information overload. I learned more in one month than I ever anticipated. I feel prepared and confident to tackle my role as a middle school language arts teacher in the fall. The multitude of knowledge gained in this class is priceless. I look forward to utilizing the myriad of strategies to promote literacy and critical thinking among learners.

I am so thankful for the members of the cohort for their wonderful teamwork. I am grateful for the opportunity to work, learn, and grow with such a passionate and gifted group of individuals. Saina Ma'ase, Dr. Rivera. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, your words of encouragement, and for a very challenging course.
