Letter from the Dean
Welcome to the next step to entering what I believe is the most rewarding, influential, and meaningful career possible, that of being a teacher. I am certain that many of you are entering this journey due to the positive influence of one or more teachers in your past. Take time to reflect on your experiences with this teacher. What made this teacher special? What are the memories that you have from your time together? What aspects of this teacher are you hoping to replicate in your own classroom? Teaching is certainly a profession where we learn best from others. As you enter your internship experience, I hope that you will be open to learning and utilize this opportunity to learn from not only your Site Supervisor but also others that you may encounter.
We are very proud of the accomplishments you have made to reach this point and excited to have you represent the very best of United States University and the School of Education. You will be serving as not only a learner and teacher candidate but also as an ambassador for our university and the teacher preparation programs. We want to ensure that everyone engaged in this program has a positive experience and represents our mission to serve students well. Please know that you have many resources available to you at United States University. Each of us is invested in your success, please reach out if you have difficulty or need assistance.
Best wishes for continued success.
