B.A. in Elementary Education 2023 Graduate is now a full-time teacher
I worked for Cabarrus County Schools as a Teacher Assistant (TA) for 18 years prior to obtaining my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. In 2021, I decided to return to college through the TA to Teacher Cohort at UNC Charlotte. I am so glad that this cohort was created to allow TAs the opportunity to complete their college degree while working full time.
The professors were great and understanding of the needs of the program. They were able to develop a rigorous curriculum and schedule that met the needs of the cohort. It is because of this cohort that I am now a full-time teacher at the school where I've worked for the past 9 years.
