Steven Flores

One of the best features of our programs at National Louis University (NLU) is their customizability. As a student, you can choose concentrations, specializations, and minors to help prepare you for your next promotion or your next dream career. Steven Ryan Flores, a teacher from Munster, Indiana, has done just that with his current program, the M.Ed. in Curriculum & Instruction. Steven specialized his degree with concentrations in ESL/Bilingual Education and Transition Specialist in order to better serve student populations frequently left behind by school systems.

“The current program I am in will teach me how to best serve students that speak English as a second language and help students with disabilities transition from high school to adulthood,” Steven says. “The degree will give me the option to serve my students in a capacity different from that of a teacher. The ideal role would be a leader for equity across the school for minoritized populations.”
