Guided to Become a Teacher Scholar
"It's very fulfilling in many respects. You get to work with professors with the same interests as you. They are guides and mentors, especially with research. It's not a power dynamic at all with them. They look at us as future colleagues. Their goal is to produce teacher scholars."
