The graduate program at UWRF for math education was phenomenal! I loved that it was designed with a teacher in mind - no driving to class right after a long day of teaching. Instead, classes were during the week in the summer and Saturdays in spring, fitting well with my teaching schedule. The professors are amazing - so knowledgeable and design everything with a teacher in mind. I enhanced my math content knowledge as well as learned some new instructional strategies throughout the program.
