Comments from Graduates:

"Calvin's Education Program effectively prepared me for teaching because of the content covered in its courses, in addition to the amount of practical opportunities that it provided.  The practical experiences in particular greatly influenced my professional growth; they allowed me to learn various instructional and management strategies, to communicate with other school personnel, and to observe various classroom organizational techniques.  These hands-on and minds-on experiences helped me the most in learning to become an effective teacher. I am well prepared for teaching after being in Calvin's Teacher Education Program."

"Calvin's program prepares student teachers to handle a variety of diverse backgrounds and abilities within the classroom."

"The major strength of Calvin's education program is the amount of high quality practical experiences provided.  Many courses have a practical component, such as tutoring, aiding, guest teaching or observing.  These practical experiences allow teacher education students to gain an understanding of how classrooms actually function; management strategies and instructional strategies can be observed and tested out, and students learn how to effectively interact with students and teachers."
