Michigan State's secondary education program is going to leave me leaps and bounds ahead of other teacher candidates. I have gained confidence, problem solving skills, and learned what it takes to be a pedagogical teacher. It's a challenge but well worth the energy.

My growth as an educator as a result of the Michigan State University Teacher Education Program cannot be summed up here in a few sentences. Between the variety of teaching placements, the variety of courses and coursework, and the amazing faculty my experience has been one that will serve me well as a future educator. I would recommend this program to anyone interested in honing the skills, mentality, thoughtfulness, and work ethic necessary to become the best educator they can be for not only themselves but also their future students. This program is a perfect example of the mantra "To be the best, you must work with the best" and that is exactly what was made available to me with this program.
