β€œI love the pacing of the program. As a teacher, wife, mother and volunteer in numerous organizations my time is definitely valuable. We have one class at a time which makes it easier to focus and not be so overwhelmed.” – Courtnee Austin

Courtnee has been teaching for 20 years in a school division where she grew up and was well educated, and will soon be moving to a new position as a Title 1 Math Specialist in the upcoming school year. When not teaching and attending school, she likes to collect Barbie dolls in her spare time and currently has over 300 in their boxes.

She chose to attend ΜΗΠΔ΄«Γ½ Online due to classes being in an online setting, making them ideal for working professionals like Courtnee. β€œThe online platform was a definite draw to the school. Also, having one, eight-week class at a time. I knew that I wouldn’t be as overwhelmed with all of the other obligations that I have.”

With a positive and encouraging mindset, we are sure that Courtnee is meant for great things and are proud to have her as a part of the ΜΗΠΔ΄«Γ½ family.

So far, my favorite thing about ΜΗΠΔ΄«Γ½ is how all of my professors have been available to answer questions and to explain any material that I have confusion over. – Debbie Spear, M.Ed. – Curriculum and Instruction

Due to a partnership between ΜΗΠΔ΄«Γ½ Online and Petersburg City Public Schools, Debbie Spear decided to pursue her M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction. ΜΗΠΔ΄«Γ½ Online welcomed her and a cohort of other teachers from Petersburg City Public Schools to support K-12 teachers. Debbie has a passion for math, so she was excited for the opportunity to go back to school and learn new skills.

ΜΗΠΔ΄«Γ½ Online is dedicated to student success and makes it easy for students to transition back into their studies. Debbie is especially appreciative of the dedication provided by her instructors and how they are there to help her every step of the way. If she is ever confused about course material, they are quick to respond and guide her in understanding.

When asked to provide advice to those debating going back to school, Debbie said, β€œDo it! Don’t let age or anything else keep you from bettering yourself. Just make sure to get a planner to keep yourself organized and on task.”
