Video Interviews with Alumni and Students

Faculty, students, and alumni of the Art of Teaching graduate program have put together a collection of videos in which they discuss the journeys they have taken on the way to becoming education professionals.

First up, Sara Wilford, director of the Art of Teaching program, sits down with several male students and recent alums. Why just men? The group, in their discussion, seeks to illustrate that there are not enough men in the field of education—especially early childhood and elementary education—as they reflect on their experiences in Art of Teaching and explore issues of curriculum and classroom community.

After the group discussion video, see a series of individual interviews with four women graduates who explore their experiences in Art of Teaching and its impact on their work as classroom teachers and administrators.
