Education

At Monroe’s School of Education, we give you the tools you need to help young minds discover their full potential… all while you fulfill your own.

At Monroe’s School of Education, our top-notch faculty of experienced teacher coaches will inspire you even as they train you in the latest research on the cognitive, developmental, and linguistic needs of children at every stage of their development. And as early as your very first semester, you’ll put everything you learn into action in real-world settings. You’ll get out of our classrooms and into your own, completing hundreds of hours of guided fieldwork and student teaching opportunities.

Monroe’s School of Education offers bachelor’s degrees in:

  • Childhood Education (teaching children in grades 1-6)
  • Early Childhood Education (from birth to grade 2)

We also offer a Bilingual Education Extension Certificate for Spanish and English, so that you can fully provide for the linguistic and cultural needs of a vibrant, diverse student body. By the time you finish your coursework, you’ll be fully prepared to take the New York State teacher certification exams.

You have the chance to give others a great start. We’ll give you yours.

Hi, my name is Ashley. I am an early childhood education major. I chose to go into this field. It had a lot to do with the teachers that I had in high school, more specifically one teacher. She really changed my life. She believed in me.

She saw potential in me when I didn't see it. I wanted to impact someone's life the way that she impacted mine. The great thing about Monroe and the education program is that they have you in the classroom from the very beginning.

From your first semester, you're in the school, you're in the classroom, and you're doing these observation hours. I loved the program, I loved the staff, and I loved what I was doing. I felt like I was right where I belonged. They're always there for you every step of the way.

They help you when you need help, they push you when you need that extra little push. So I chose early child education because I believe that beginnings are the most important part, and I want to not only be there for them to teach them how to read and how to write, but I also want to be that person that they can trust, that they can fight in, and that they ultimately love.

I really hope to change my students' lives.
