PS Program Testimonials

Deborah Mottley, Bennett Elementary, Prince William County, VA , 2nd grade

• What I like best about PS: I got a top notch education from Mason's PS program. I feel knowledgeable, confident, and prepared. PS completed the package for me with actual teaching courses, book knowledge, and theory to practice for teaching.
• Benefits of PS: I thought I was a good teacher before, but now I know I am a good teacher. I can see where students now benefit from what I know. The part-time program allowed me to continue working and also apply what I was learning.

• What I like best about PS: The PS program was it allowed me to return to graduate school at the age of 50 and feel successful. I liked being able to work with the same cohort of students and support one another even after we graduated. I found Mason's professors to be understanding, helpful and able to draw more out of me.
• PS is: PS is a program that provides theory, hands-on experience, and practical application for becoming a better teacher.
