Degree Program - School of Education | Jones International University

I've had very experienced teachers tell me on more than one occasion that my skills as a teacher seem to be beyond that of someone new to the discipline. I credit the JIU program and the fine instructors with helping me understand the most vital and current issues facing teachers in a manner that helped me perform beyond expectations.: Erica Atkins
Hatselle, AL USA; MEd in Elementary Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment: Teacher Licensure

Every course in the administrative licensure program afforded me the opportunity to merge my academic life with my professional life. I used the strategic planning course to reorganize the technology department and was able to demonstrate mastery of the course objectives through actual work experiences.: Deborah Dominguez
Indianapolis, IN USA; MEd in Education Leadership and Administration: Principal and Administrator Licensure

Being able to learn from other aspiring teachers who lived around the country - and occasionally around the world - was invaluable to me. These individuals provided sometimes surprising and often interesting viewpoints about the country in which we live and the educational system within which we teach.: Jean-Elizabeth Brickner
