"The most important tool I took from Duke’s teaching program was learning the value of being a reflective educator. Seriously reflecting about teaching and learning was not only integral to my success as a graduate student at Harvard, but it continues to serve me in important ways as I handle the challenges and successes of my first year teaching." ~ Brence Pernell (Trinity '08)
"I am an upper grade staff developer at the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project. As a staff developer, I work in schools in New York City, the New York area and around the country, supporting teachers with reading and writing workshop. My time at Duke helped me to learn to take risks and try multiple approaches and methods when teaching." ~ Anne Taranto (Trinity '03)
