Zain Ali Testimonial

Zain Ali is a Double Laser graduate student at Lasell University who completed his undergrad with a B.A. in IDS Curriculum & Instruction in 2020 and is currently earning his Master's in Curriculum, Leadership, & Inclusion.

Zain has been working at The Barn at Lasell as a Preschool Educator since May 2019 but only full-time for over a year now. "There are a lot of things that I do at the Barn. Some of my responsibilities include managing a classroom, teaching & nurturing my students, leading classroom discussion, or reading books to the kids."

He chose Lasell to earn his master's degree because of the teaching experience he received during his time as an undergraduate. During his 4 years, he could feel himself growing as a person and educator. “I wanted to continue here at Lasell because I was familiar with the program and the professors are wonderful and knowledgeable in their field."

One piece of advice Zain gives for any grad student is to manage your time well. “You get a lot of reading and assignments weekly, which can be stressful and overwhelming. So student needs to gauge a class to see how much work and reading needs to be done. Then act accordingly on doing the assignments”.
