WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Dr. Marilyn G. Stewart,
Professor Emerita
Art Education and Crafts
Kutztown University
"I shall never forget the unit she created for Grade 5, entitled, “Her Stories: Connecting the Past, Present and Future Voices,” in which she would have her students explore the notion that “art can be a means for uncovering the past...She remains, in my 37 years there, one of the top three or four students to move through our art education program. As the largest undergraduate art education program in the nation, that’s saying something, to be sure."
Dr. Karen Keifer-Boyd,
Professor of Art Education
Penn State University
"With leadership skills and experience in curriculum development and teaching along with self directed, collaborative, and detail-oriented work in all the MPS courses—she is an ideal candidate for your School District art teacher position.

“Nicole is a team player who will step up beyond the norm and work with colleagues to enhance students’ educational experiences. One example of her work would be the implementation of an elementary art show where not only students’ artwork is displayed, but processional artists, art commissions, secondary art students and the entire elementary instrumental and string program contributed to the richness of the evening.”
