Amazing Student: Beza Tefera Muzein
Through her research into professional development and instructional leadership, Beza Tefera Muzein (Ph.D. ’26) aims to implement professional learning systems in schools that support teachers’ needs and, in turn, foster high-quality instruction for students.
“As a doctoral student at the University of Georgia, my research centers on job-embedded professional learning and instructional coaching, particularly observation and feedback practices. Having never experienced actionable feedback as a teacher or administrator, I am driven to study how instructional coaching can bridge research and practice to inform policies and improve teaching and leadership outcomes,” she said.
