EDUCATION

YOUR STUDENTS ARE WAITING FOR YOU Some jobs are just jobs. Some are professions. But teaching is a calling.

No doubt, developing into an accomplished, professional educator takes time and effort. But the passion to teach is something many of our students first felt long before joining our program. At five years old, Majriela Macedo felt that calling.

“Stepping into kindergarten, right then and there, I knew I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up.”

EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST TEACHER You’ll become a teacher by teaching. Early field experiences—in classrooms with students—will allow you to observe and participate in actual educational settings. Often you’ll be working with students from various ethnic, cultural and economic groups, adult learners and exceptional needs children.

Many of our student-teachers tell us the experience of personally connecting with their classroom is one of their most profound learning experiences while earning their degree. And our own dedicated, world-class faculty is behind you every step of the way.
