Emily Glass '21I chose the teaching credential program for the well-known connections that Cal Lutheran has with the local community. I’m given the opportunities to observe experienced teachers and make connections in local elementary schools that could possibly be my future employers one day. I am confident that this rigorous program will help me transform into the teacher I’ve always hoped to be.
