"Immaculata University’s Biology program has really prepared me for working in the field of education. I currently teach middle school science, and I am able to incorporate the content knowledge that I have learned from my science classes at Immaculata into my lesson planning. I am especially grateful to the faculty for their dedication and support as I took the time to discern which career I wished to pursue after graduation. My science classes helped me learn the content that I am responsible for teaching, and I have to give a lot of credit to the education professors. In my Testing and Assessment class, I was able to home in on what teaching meant to me and how I could test and assess my students appropriately. Another class that was extremely helpful to me was Instructional Accommodations. I learned how to modify lessons/assessments for students with learning disabilities."
