WHY CHOOSE A MASTER’S OF EDUCATION IN EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP?

Bonnie Cabeza

I gave a presentation on multiple intelligences to the San Antonio Writing Project this week, and it went great! I have been asked to give the same presentation to NEISD teachers during on Curriculum Day this August. Thank you so much for providing me with such inspiring content to share with even more people. This program really made a difference in my career!

I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist, and there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.
