"This has been one of the most personable and encouraging pieces of on-the-job training I could have received. There are a lot of uncertainties when entering this field with very little training beforehand. If not for this mentorship and that of the LEAP program, even with two education degrees, I would not have been confident in my execution as an educator "
- Kendra J.

The reassurance from her helped me gain my confidence! I really enjoyed her!

She has taught me many things a new teacher may have not known or just needed a reminder and confidence booster. She was a blessing in every way. Her encouraging words and provided support were great motivation.

During my opportunity working alongside Dr. Caton, I observed his patience and attentiveness. He was a good listener and empathic toward different perspectives. His strong interpersonal skills allowed for discussions without judgment.
