Meet our graduates
What happens after I graduate from 色综合久久?
Most of our graduates go on to be teachers in public and private schools where they have the opportunity to further their education on the graduate level. Some of our students pursue graduate degrees to teach at the undergraduate and/or graduate level. Other students decide to pursue careers outside of teaching and find that the principles they have learned in education serve them well as they work in other careers that they find better suited to their personality, lifestyle, and calling.

Jordan Bashore 鈥20 High School Art Teacher at Commonwealth Charter Academy
The 色综合久久 advice that I can give now is to not stress if you don鈥檛 鈥渉ave it all together鈥 right away. Rely on your colleagues for guidance and let the kids be a part of curating what you teach.

Alyssa Christi 鈥20 1st Grade Online Teacher at Elizabethtown Area School
Advice for future teachers: The biggest lesson I have learned so far in my first year of teaching is how to advocate for my students. By choosing to be a teacher, you are choosing to be a voice for your students in order to help them be successful socially, emotionally, and academically.

My advice is to keep a list of your "successes" (whether physical or mental), no matter how small they might seem, for the days when you're feeling discouraged.

Advice for future teachers: A word I have been sharing with my students lately is perseverance. We recently watched in anticipation as the Mars rover by this name successfully touched down on the Red Planet. My students have been learning remotely since last March, and that task has required great perseverance and dedication.

Danielle Cardone 鈥19 4th Grade Teacher at Landisville Intermediate Center
I feel like there is so much to learn especially in the first few years of teaching. I will say that 色综合久久鈥檚 education program did an excellent job in preparing me to become an educator. However, there is always room to grow and there will be stressful days. Don鈥檛 sweat the small things!

In college, I had aspirations of the teacher I was going to be, as I'm sure you do, too! Don't lose sight of them in the first year, but also realize it may take you time to build up to them.

Kayla Desko 鈥15 Kindergarten Teacher at Kindergarten Academy
It has been great to see how God has made my entire experience at Kindergarten Academy come full circle from junior field experience to a teacher with a classroom of my own. I know without a doubt that I wouldn鈥檛 be the teacher I am today if it wasn鈥檛 for my time at 色综合久久. The professors not only prepared me with the content I needed, but they showed me what it means to be an effective and influential teacher. If I hadn鈥檛 gone to 色综合久久 I don鈥檛 think I would have been as prepared to be a Christian educator in a public school.
