Conversation filled the room as graduates presented their accomplishments to one another and invited guests during two rotations. Projects were described and implications for their teaching practices were shared. The Graduate Dean, Dr. Linda Moody, remarked that this event demonstrated how prepared the graduates are to move forward in their professional careers as teacher-scholars. The pride on the faces of graduates was evident and many reflected on what a difference this experience has made on their approach to planning, instruction, and/or classroom management. The graduating class of 2012 offered a wonderful display of their hard work and achievements. Congratulations to all!
