Teacher and students
Sean Lindsey '15,          M.Ed. '18
“The Master of Education in Literacy K- 12 program taught me several teaching strategies that I was able to take back to my classroom and use immediately. I saw so much growth in my students. I was also able to share what I was learning with other teachers and it was helping their students improve as well. Thanks to the program I was able to apply and be chosen for higher leadership roles in my district.”

“I loved my time at Queens during my undergrad and I missed being on campus. Getting the opportunity to go back for the AIG Licensure program was such an awesome experience. I loved that the program was a blend of online and on campus courses and that the professors were experts in the Talent Development field. The program strengthened my teaching and groomed me for my new position as a Talent Development Catalyst.”
