Lisa Story MAT '20 has wanted to be a teacher for as long as she can remember.
“In preschool I would read to the younger children, even though I was not yet able to read myself,” Story said.
She chose to pursue her master of arts in teaching at 鶹Ӱ to earn her teaching license.
“I chose Pacific to be fully immersed in my educational experience,” she said. “I wanted a program that would reignite my passion for teaching.”
Today, Story teaches at Tom McCall Upper Elementary School in Forest Grove.
Pacific's flexible master’s program focuses on hands-on teaching experience to prepare highly qualified, caring teachers.
