The profundity of this extensive program conditioned me tremendously to think about and reflect on complex issues underlying education. Besides helping me professionally, this experience guided me to pursue my passions: learning, neuroscience, and technology. Mastery of these three components, in my opinion, provides a valuable set of tools I can harness to be a proverbial “game changer” in the field of education, improving education while continuing to learn and to grow as an educator.
