What Education Alumni are Saying

Jaron Snavely | Class of 2021

What sets Liberty apart is that the professors are here to help guide you to fulfilling your calling. Not only are the professors in the School of Education knowledgeable in their subject matter, but they are personally invested in your life to foreword your calling. The professional relationships formed during my undergraduate degree gave me a wealth of wisdom in beginning my career.

B.S. Social Studies Teacher Licensure

Jazmyne Griffith | Class of 2022

My training at Liberty University has given me a greater understanding about teaching well. The greatest takeaways are differentiated instruction and small groups in the classroom. Having a strong biblical worldview is key to being a strong Christian teacher. I am also thankful for the practicum placement which helps give practical application of the material as well as a potential job opportunity.

B.S. Elementary Education

Cole McQuaid | Class of 2021

The biggest thing that I was prepared for within the School of Education was the ability to be able to love students regardless of where they come from. I was only able to do this because of the wonderful people that I surrounded myself with at Liberty University. Thank you to all of the faculty and staff that made such an important impact on me while I was a student so that I can impact my students.

Melissa Hosek | Class of 2020

Having a high-quality Christian education prepared me well. The educational theories I learned, and my classroom experience gave me a lot of confidence in my teaching. Stepping into a classroom where the primary language is not English is intimidating, but knowing that I am well-equipped gave me self-confidence.

B.S. in Special Education Interdisciplinary Studies

Natalie Shimo | Class of 2022

My degree from Liberty University has impacted my life in countless ways. Most importantly, due to taking online classes, I am working my dream job (a job I found during my practicums) in a school where student-centered learning is a priority, and I am able to actively support my students' growth in academics and in God.
