The Word on Campus

"Spalding University's College of Education has been an incredible experience. I am grateful for my time; it helped shape me into not only a better educator, but also a better person."

Adam Weining
BSEd Secondary Biology, Class of 2022

“I would highly encourage anyone to come to Spalding and learn from the wonderful education faculty. They all teach from experience, and I feel comfortable learning from them. The classes are small so professors can focus on individual students better, which to me was great as an ESL student. The flexible class schedule allowed me to study while caring for my family.”

Elizabeth Gonzalez
BSEd Elementary School, Class of 2022

“I feel so well prepared to step into the classroom and lead my middle graders, because of my education and student teaching at Spalding University.”

Meagan Hayden
BSEd Middle School Math, Class of 2022

"The professors of Spalding University's College of Education have been amazing throughout my college experience. They are always eager to help their students in any way possible, which is something I value and will definitely implement in my own classroom!"

Jaxson
BSEd Secondary Math, Class of 2023

"I’ve always felt empowered to change the world as a teacher, not just because we help students grow into citizens, but also because I agree that teaching is the profession on which all other professions depend! Teachers truly make the world work."
