The Center for Education Innovation’s (CEI), Thank a Teacher program allows students to provide unsolicited feedback by sending thank you notes to teachers who make a positive difference in their education and personal development. Annie Hansen-Burke, senior lecturer in the Department of Educational Psychology’s school psychology program, recently received one of these “thank a teacher” notes which showcases the positive learning environment that she creates for her students.

The note reads:

“Thank you for making my graduate school experience enjoyable, enlightening, and empowering. Your calm and positive support has allowed me to push my limits and learn more about schools, systems, other people, and myself. You are truly a light, and your stories and advice will continue to help me grow into the future, personally and professionally.”
