Alumna educator turns to rap to inspire, motivate

The COVID-19 pandemic has reminded Cora Garner, right, a 2018 UTA grad and current doctoral student, of how delicate—and crucial—the balance is between teaching content and building relationships.

She credits the College of Education with helping her know how to keep students engaged, motivated, and focused on their success. Often, it's through writing original rap songs for her English class.
