“ECUR 411 Teaching and Learning in Community Education has perfectly embodied the soul of being an educator. You and co-instructor Dr. Momina Khan have cared for us and built genuine community in our class, and you have encouraged us to do the same for our students. Thanks for all you did for us, I’m glad this could be one of my last classes in the college.”

“You definitely made a difference in my education and impact the way I teach today. I still remember you reading us a picture book, telling us no one is too old for one. All of us decorating the wooden toy train. You sharing your stories and knowledge. I was looking at some of my assignments from your class, and your feedback on them is so genuine and uplifting.
I feel very lucky to have been able to have you as my professor for those two years. I’m very proud of the teacher I have become, and I know that started with a great foundation - which you were a huge part of.

“Debbie Pushor’s research, knowledge and practice with engaging families in learning and wellbeing is word renowned. Debbie has inspired many of us in Australia to further our work in this area.
The examples of families being engaged as first educators and parents but not their child’s teacher of school curriculum resonates and matters to many families who do a great job at home and should be encouraged to continue.
Relationships between home and school can continue to grow if we use Debbie’s work as a basis for developing these and the relationship between parent and child can flourish.”
—Carmel Nash, Executive
Director, Catholic School Parents, Queensland, Australia.
