RCOE
Thanks to Recruitment Committee and other students who helped set and clean up for the Open House Event.
Convocation Volunteers
We enjoyed speaking to the prospective students and sending them to the RCOE for more information.
Spreading our passion
We enjoyed talking with "future Mountaineers" about Appalachian State.
Open House was a success for the Reich College of Education! Thanks to all of you who promoted our great university AND rewarding profession. Also a special appreciation to our RECRUITMENT COMMITTEE who helped organize this event! We are also grateful for Rebekah, Diana, and Tammie for all their help!
TEA Fellows Seminar
Last Thursday, I think many of our lives were changed interacting with the TEA Fellows. These teachers were from all around the world and they shared about their cultures and schools. One teacher stated that the universal theme to teaching is building a relationship with students. If that isn't established, behavior will never be improved. They all also said that American students were so positive and friendly.
