The СÖíÊÓƵEducation program has prepared me for teaching in ways that I could have never imagined. СÖíÊÓƵtaught me how to create an environment of care and hospitality in my classroom as a teacher. As a new teacher, being equipped with strategies of how to create a welcoming, positive atmosphere helped me immensely in not only my own growth, but also for the students in my classrooms for future years to come.

It has been a pleasure and privilege working in partnership with СÖíÊÓƵ’s Teacher Candidate Program. Staff representatives have always been collaborative, ensuring that processes are clearly communicated. The teacher candidates themselves have been exemplary. Our past experiences with these young professionals have always been successful. Teacher hosts have always reported that the candidates are respectful, committed, dedicated and enthusiastic while demonstrating a thorough understanding and knowledge of current research that is grounded in highly effective pedagogical practice. We are grateful for our working relationship with СÖíÊÓƵand look forward to continuing this partnership into the future.

Redeemer's Bachelor of Education program not only prepared me academically to cover the curriculum well, but it also prepared me to be human with my students. We are often so focused on teaching the curriculum and ensuring everything is covered at the expense of our student's joy and love of learning. At СÖíÊÓƵI was able to see that we can still cover everything we need to, but it is important to get to know your students and have that human side to teaching. I am human and I make mistakes, I want my students to see that, to be able to help me figure things out when I do not know what to do. This allows them to learn life skills, but to also be a part of their own learning. At Redeemer, learning was collaborative and human, I want to do the same with my future students.
