Testimonials & Awards

As a science teacher educator, I have benefited greatly from using the Learning Center in my classes and look forward to extending the experiences this year by having my students set professional development learning goals and provide evidences and reflections to include in their PD Plan and Portfolio. I encourage other university science educators to get their students involved in Learning Center activities.
