Introduction

My name is Kim, and I am currently in my third quarter at CWU-Des Moines.  I am junior standing, double majoring in Elementary Education/Early Childhood Education and minoring in Business Administration.  While this blog is intended as a personal documentation of my experiences, I hope it will reach aspiring future educators. 

A brief introduction  to my program:
Central Washington University offers convenience and affordability through their University Centers.  I am enrolled at the Des Moines campus, where my classes are arranged in a cohort style.  About 25 students are accepted every Fall, and we take pre-arranged classes as a group.  I consider the cohort model to be a very supportive atmosphere.  The school emphasizes a constructivist viewpoint, and the professors have all taught at the elementary level in the past.  The program is highly involved in the community and local school districts.  More on all of this later!
