 Priscilla is such a light in the school of education. She leads us through the process of not only preparing our students well to be great teachers but also to represent Jesus Christ out there in the schools. She's always happy and excited to see us even if it's eight o'clock in the morning. And I absolutely adore that about her and I want to like continue that energy into my classroom. She still sees the wonder in the world. I think there's the sweetest moment of my day with Priscilla is coming to class early and she's there and you just get to talk about her life and what's going on in your own life. She is one of a kind. I was born in Oak Park, Illinois, which is outside of Chicago, but I was raised in Peoria and my favorite memories would be riding the horses, being on the swim team, being on the tennis team, golfing, water skiing on the river. We had lots of fun. I am married and have two grown sons and a horse and a dog. It's been an awesome career. I wouldn't change anything about it. I've taught preschool, kindergarten all the way through sixth grade. I've been a Title I reading specialist and I've also taught adults. I've been at Colorado Christian University for 29 years. I love it. I'm glad I chose it as a career. Well I've been at CCU for so long because I love the students and I love the staff and faculty and I love to be able to send Christians out into the schools and to make a difference for their students. So we try to train our students to be servant leaders. The School of Education has worked very hard to earn the reputation that we have. The National Council of Teachers of Quality has places in the top 2% nationwide of schools of education in the United States. We're licensed by Colorado Department of Education by Association of Christian Schools International and we have programs in special education, elementary, secondary, history, science and English, music education and we have a culturally and linguistically diverse strand and also reading literacy emphasis. The reward with the college students is when they're working with their own students and they come back with their stories of their epiphanies of how they made a difference, how they made a change, how their students understand what they were being taught because of the methods and the strategies and the content that they learned here at CCU. They're extremely well prepared to go out into the world and make education their profession.
