MALCOLM BONNER
M.ED. ’82 Faculty Fielding Graduate Institute

I often use the Cambridge College value system and learning model in my own teaching – ideas like, “Once we know, we can’t go back to not knowing.” Now, when I work with adult learners, I know from my Cambridge College experience that they don’t come into the classroom as empty vessels, and that it’s important to be able to make strong connections with them. Because I learned how to make those kinds of connections at Cambridge College, I’m able to help other students see the light within themselves, and to shine that light so that it reflects on others.
