During my first year of teaching, I found the usefulness of educational psychology in the classroom. Marist was able to offer a degree in which I had a strong interest, as well as a program that leads to professional certification in NYS, which made this program a perfect fit for me. Also, the online program has allowed me to continue my education, while still being able to teach full time in Saratoga Springs. This program has helped me to understand the whole child and apply this knowledge to my classroom daily. Each course I took at Marist has been directly applicable to what I am doing every day in the classroom, whether it be understanding assessment in a new way or viewing adolescents with a new light.

I feel very prepared in my current teaching position thanks to everything I have learned and experienced at Marist! I feel confident with the teaching pedagogy and teaching experience that Marist allowed me to obtain. In one reading placement course, we had to create a goal for a real student, and then work with them for 30 minutes every week to try to meet the reading goal. Although this was challenging, it was very rewarding seeing all of our hard work planning lessons for our student pay off!

The highlights of this program for me have been having my cohort become a family, always running into classmates and giving each other some encouraging words, having 鈥榓h-ha鈥� moments in a professor鈥檚 office, and having that extra time to enjoy everything that makes this school so great: the river, the sunsets, and seeing familiar faces on campus daily. All of the faculty in the Educational Psychology program were wonderful and they all played a big part in shaping my career. With all of my professors, I have found a connection inside and outside of the classroom that allowed for my learning to feel personal.
