A good teacher is critical to student achievement. So, how does a teacher become impactful and inspiring? Just like the training required for any specialized profession, teachers must train. They must train before they enter the classroom, and they must receive ongoing training even as they work in the classroom. And for that one needs to pick the best college. As teachers, the others in our life are our students. Do I have that rare attribute of “Empathy” for my students? A reflection on this is necessary. My dear students these many years you have been at the ‘receiving end’, soon the tables will be turned and you will be at the ‘giving end’.

I feel deeply privileged to be a part of such a glorious history and I am proud to be a part of its ongoing endeavor to create and provide quality teacher education that is holistic, humanistic, and self–reflective.
