教育下一代

When Ann (Lammers) Wooldridge ’87 has student teachers in her building, she is always reminded of her own student-teaching experience and her time on the Hill.

“Mount Mercy is unlike other schools in that we were in the classroom as early as sophomore year, so when it came time for me to student-teach, I wasn’t nervous and felt very prepared.”

“I student-taught at Arthur Elementary,” said Ann. “Mount Mercy is unlike other schools in that we were in the classroom as early as sophomore year, so when it came time for me to student-teach, I wasn’t nervous and felt very prepared.”

现在，安和她的中心点厄巴纳小学在为芒特慈悲山学生的教学生涯做准备方面发挥了积极的作用。

"We were asked to be a part of the Professional Development School (PDS) model,” said Ann. “We were the first site when they started the PDS program. That’s been a fantastic partnership for myself, our teachers, and the Mount Mercy students. It’s a great way to give back.”

专业发展学校（PDS）模式是大学教师教育项目和P-12学校之间的合作伙伴关系，重点是培养未来的教育工作者，并为当前的教育工作者提供持续的专业发展。

安被行政部门所吸引，因为她可以对她的学生、老师和学校产生广泛的影响。 在她的职位上，安喜欢与近400名学生互动，她说没有两天是相同的。 作为一名管理者，回馈社会并把爱传递出去是她领导哲学的一部分。

“When you’re in administration in any career, you’re really a person of service, and that was
something I learned from my parents and from Mount Mercy,” said Ann
