Welcome to the School of Education!
I'm constantly applying the skills I'm learning in the MA program to my teaching practice. The program has helped me develop both as a learner and an educator.
Heidy Garibay, Multiple Subject Credential, 2015 and Current MA Student
The program allowed me to use research in a practical sense. Each course allowed us to explore a theoretical framework and apply that directly in the field.

SSU fosters an environment in which we see, hear, and appreciate one another and inspires us to do the same in our future classroom communities.
Catherine Falzon, Current Multiple Subject Credential Candidate
In our jobs we have to constantly be changing and constantly be challenging ourselves, because the students are constantly changing.
Ed Navarro, Education Leadership Credential, 2015
I think teaching children is one of the most important jobs in the world and I know SSU is the best place for me to get my teaching credential.

The PUERTA Project
The PUERTA (Preparing Underrepresented Educators to Realize their Teaching Ambitions) Project seeks to increase the number of Latinx teachers serving in K-12 public schools. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, PUERTA seeks to improve the practices and remove the barriers that prevent undergraduate Latinx students from earning a teaching credential at our institution. PUERTA has three primary goals: 1) to increase Hispanic and Latina/o student persistence and graduation rates, 2) to increase the number of Hispanic and Latino students who earn a teaching credential and 3) to increase the number of students who transfer to SSU from a two-year HSI.
