 * Sarah Meier: Technology Specialist
 * 2007
 * MAED instructor, Technology License instructor, Capstone Advisor
 * Similar Goals Among Montessori Educators Who Teach In Different Settings
 * capacity to encourage students to actively reflect on their personal growth, pedagogical approaches, and professional practice: As my Capstone Advisor, Vivian Johnson guided me through the process of sifting through all my ideas so that I was able to develop a cohesive theme for my capstone. She was direct, patient, and effective in her leadership.
 * skill in successfully measuring student learning, interpreting data, and using results for continuous program improvement: My first experience with Vivian was in a "new" certificate program (and eventual licensure program) that Hamline was introducing: Technology Education. Vivian saw the certificate program as more than just a place to teach keyboarding skills. She envisioned technology tools and resources as an opportunity to involve different types of learners. Vivian was very enthusiastic about her classes. While the classes were challenging, I remember how much fun it was to be a part of those classes. Now that I am a Technology Specialist myself, I am inspired to bring that same enthusiasm to my own classes.
 * ability to articulate student outcomes and convey these in ways that facilitate candidate (learner) performance and ability to convey the same among learners they teach: NA
 * ability to effectively advise, supervise, and mentor students-particularly those aspiring to be teachers and leaders in P-12 settings: Vivian always found time to meet with me about my capstone, even though I had an ever-changing schedule. Throughout the development of my capstone, Vivian would provide timely and valuable feedback. Knowing that I had Vivian's consistent support, I gained more confidence in myself and in my ideas. I was extremely satisfied with my final capstone and I am thankful for the excellent education that I received at Hamline.
