Zhang credited her faculty for this recognition.
“It takes someone special to teach someone special. Our faculty are committed and dedicated to preparing special education teachers to effectively carry out the development and maximization of learning competencies, as well as the inculcation of values to make the learners with special needs useful and effective members of society. To achieve this goal, we equip ourselves with strong content knowledge, and constantly refine our pedagogy, especially online teaching pedagogy,” she said.
