CU Denver ASPIRE
About
ASPIRE to Teach is a teacher preparation pathway provided by the University of Colorado Denver, a top education school in the country.
ASPIRE challenged me to think critically each week and reflect on my own approaches and how I could adapt them to better reach students. I loved how the program really focused on feedback and reflection so we could take what we learned and actually assess how are these changes were impacting our students.
