This is nice, but…what did our faculty say?
Good training, and the follow up support was
wonderful!
Thank you for the opportunity to be prepared
to teach.I think the training, plus actually going through
course work myself, was invaluable.
My mentor was very helpful and very prompt to
respond to my questions.
