Ed. Magazine A to B: Why They Got Into Education Posted January 21, 2020 By Ed. Magazine Several years ago, in Ed. magazine, we ran a series called “A to B: Why I Got Into Education.” For the series, we asked students and alumni to write about someone or something that influenced their decision to become educators. As we were working on the Centennial issue, we decided to ask half a dozen alumni to come up with new essays. They did: Noah Mackert, Ed.M.’10 Morgan Camu, Ed.L.D.’14 Michael Durall, Ed.M.’88 Jack Miller, M.A.T.’67 Kali Ladd, Ed.M.’06 Mike Fink, M.A.T.’56 Xiaodong Yue, Ed.M.’88, Ed.D.’93 Interested in reading the A to B essays from our archives?
