"The classes I had taken, paired with my placements, really prepared me for what was to come in my first year of teaching. They allowed me to start building a foundation for what I wanted my class to eventually look like. Furthermore, those experiences allowed me to grow in time management, transitions and catering to everyone throughout my lessons. The tools that the Coe Education Department provided me are invaluable."

"The most valuable aspect of Coe's Education Program was the student teaching experience. I was able to practice my skills in the "Real World," while still being guided by educational professionals. These professionals gave me constant feedback to improve on my teaching craft, as well as provided a listening ear to my thoughts and troubles. Coe's Education Program prepared me for the workforce, and I am grateful for the time spent at Coe!"

"I grew so much through my years in the Education Department at Coe and doubled that growth in my 16 weeks of student teaching. I am so thankful for being at a school that was small and personal. It was great to be able to make the connections in the Department with peers and professors. Each professor helped me tremendously to be successful in different ways. They all have their own specialties that combined made me the teacher I am today."
