If your educational responsibilities are the things that you sincerely look forward to doing, you need to enroll in the MTLDP. Not only will you learn new things, but it will help crystallize your thoughts on so many aspects of your professional endeavors. I feel really prepared to apply what I learned about teaching, teamwork, and leadership to my program and my efforts with my colleagues. The Master Teacher Leadership Development Program has proven to be so valuable in the critical areas of my professional development, such as teaching and leadership, but has been especially instrumental in focusing my educational research interests. As a graduate of the program, I now look forward to exploring new academic and scholarship opportunities knowing that this program has provided me with the evidence-based tools to be more successful. Being in Master Teacher has been an amazing journey of personal growth.  The themes that were learned about and the lively class discussions we’ve had have shaped the way I view the world.  I can hardly look at an organization now without wondering, what is the mission here? What motivates people to engage or strive for success?  What experiences are people bringing with them?  This program has changed the way I approach my clinical, educational, research, and personal responsibilities.
