“Why St. ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø? To be honest, every school is going to teach you to write lesson plans and implement them, but no other school is going to do it with the zeal of St. ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø. Here you do not simply learn methodology, you learn to cultivate the whole person. From my experience with the College of Education, I will never forget how I learned to view teaching as more than a profession and a class as more than a group of students. I instead walked away with the realization that teaching could never simply be just a job, and that a classroom of 30 kids is seen instead as a room of 30 unique and special individuals, each capable of changing the world.”
