“Sequence III does a wonderful job of filling
the gap between learning to ‘teach’
in college and actually how to ‘teach’
journalism in the classroom. For the first
time since I started teaching, I finally feel
organized, prepared and ready to start the
new year.”
Cassandra E. Syler, Round Rock
High, Round Rock, Texas
