LRCE’s Executive Director and CEO, Nancy Roberts discusses her concerns.
To Whom it may Concern,
My name is Keith Courville, a Chemistry and Physics teacher at Walker High School, and I am a graduate of LRCE’s alternative certification program from Summer 2009. I highly recommend LRCE for all those interested in obtaining the knowledge necessary to succeed in the classroom. Through the summer training, I gained practical knowledge within the classroom as well as experienced relevant seminars and workshops on a broad range of topics from pedagogy to classroom management. Furthermore, while teaching, I received bi-monthly content meetings, taught by a highly competent master teacher, which were both relevant to my subject area and a means of collaborating with others in my field. Simply put, whether it is my success within the classroom or completing career goals such as my M.Ed., the knowledge and skills taught to me at LRCE have been invaluable to my continuing development within my profession.
