“Te College of Education faculty are just phenome- nal. Tey pour into you spiritually and academically, leading by example to show you what really matters in the classroom. Now that I’m in the field, what stands out the most is that they care enough to keep praying for me and checking on me. Where else can you find professors you can call to get practical advice or to share a celebration with?” Rebecca Komoroski | Class of 2018 First-Grade Teacher
“One of my favorite things about the College of Edu- cation at NGU is the amount of time they have the ed- ucation majors in classrooms observing and teaching. I truly believe the classroom experience provided is what sets NGU education grads apart from others; we’ve been given time to see multiple grade levels, subject areas, and teachers. Tis simply prepares teachers more than anything else! I feel I had so much experience that I was completely prepared for my semester of student teaching.” Ashley Caviness | Class of 2015 Fifth-Grade Teacher
“If you want to be a music teacher, I would definitely recommend NGU. Music education is a very busy ma- jor; it requires much focus and determination, and the classes are very thorough. When you actually step into public schools and begin your journey as an educator, however, you know that all that hard work was well worth it! In some ways, our education classes required us to do more than we actually have to do in Greenville County Schools. Tis makes for a pleasant experience once you are out on your own. I would much rather be overprepared than underprepared!” Adam Cochran | Class of 2014 Music Teacher
“Te smaller class sizes in the College of Education at NGU really allowed me to build more personal rela- tionships with my professors. I wasn’t just a name on a roster. I felt they honestly cared about my success in school and in the real world after graduation. Tey did not sugarcoat things, either. Tey trained us for the real world and not the fantasy land that so many beginning educators have in their minds about how their class- room will be when they start the profession.” Erik Hines | Class of 2004 Orchestra Director and 2016 Teacher of the Year
