Program Application

  
Vicki is the Yuma local coordinator for the Master's with Certification Program. The program allows people with a bachelor’s degree to obtain teacher certification in as little as four semesters. Prospective students may apply and begin each semester. The program has been successful in meeting Yuma’s high need for quality educators at the elementary and middle school level.

Vicki recently received her doctorate in Curriculum & Instruction. She has been active in the Yuma educational community for twenty years. As an ESL endorsed educator, Vicki most enjoys helping students improve their academic language through mathematics and science strategies and hands-on learning. The combination of mathematics, science, and language was the focus of Vicki’s doctoral dissertation.

Vicki has been working with mathematics and science partnerships with AWC and local school districts. In addition to the line up of courses for the Master's Program, Vicki provides  mathematics workshops  for area teachers on using hands-on manipulatives and mathematics process skills. She also assists people with certification information and preparation for the Arizona Educators Proficiency Exam (AEPA).
