How Nadine is making a difference in the College of Education:
“I love working with teachers, both future teachers and experienced teachers. My job enables me to work with others to develop and implement programs that support future and current teachers in enhancing their teaching skills. I’m excited that enrollment in our credential and graduate programs has increased over the past two years. Children in San Diego County and beyond are the beneficiaries of this support for teachers. I’m happy to be part of that.”
