INSIDE SCOOP: "After going through the very intensive Teaching and Curriculum (TAC) Program at HGSE, I felt as prepared as I could be for my first year teaching -- specifically, I felt prepared to teach in an urban high school. My experience with student teaching at Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School, in addition to taking courses at HGSE, reinforced my desire to work at an urban high school."
