From Our Former Students

“One of the things that set this program apart is that it is located within the Teaching, Learning & Culture Department at Texas A&M. There’s more to teaching than just delivering a curriculum or instructional strategy; we have to consider the influence that culture has one what we do.”

Caroline Freeman

Caroline Freeman

Peer Mentor

Howdy! My name is Caroline Freeman, and I am a sophomore Secondary Education Major from The Woodlands, TX. I hope to pursue a future career in teaching English or History to Middle School students. I have always desired to be a teacher because I have a heart for young children, and I want them to experience the joy of learning and discovering what they’re passionate about!

When I’m not studying, I enjoy hanging out with my friends and family, playing spikeball and pickleball, working out, reading, playing/listening to music, and exploring the great outdoors! Card games, watching my favorite TV shows, and walks around the neighborhood with friends are some of my favorites!

This semester is my first semester of being a UMPT (University Peer Mentor in Technology) for EDCI 365. I took this class last spring and absolutely loved it! I look forward to getting to know all of you and helping you succeed in this course!!
