Educating the Whole Teacher.
At Springfield College, our Education major prepares future teachers to enter the classroom confident, capable, and ready to make a meaningful difference in students’ lives.
From the beginning of your program, you will learn through both study and practice. Our students complete over 200 hours of classroom experience before student teaching, giving you the opportunity to work directly with children, learn alongside experienced educators, and build real teaching confidence long before graduation.
Program Options
- Early Childhood (Grades PK-2)
- Elementary Education (Grades 1-6)
- Elementary and Special Education (Grades PK-8)
- Special Education (Grades PK-2 or PK-8)
Springfield College is also known for its strong preparation in evidence-based literacy instruction. You will learn how children learn to read and how to support every learner through proven approaches to develop phonological awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and assessment. Graduates leave ready to teach reading using practices aligned with Massachusetts teacher licensure standards and evidence-based reading instruction.
Our program is grounded in equity-centered and culturally sustaining teaching. Through close mentorship from faculty and partnerships with local schools, you will develop the knowledge, skills, and professional identity needed to create inclusive classrooms where all students can thrive.
Rooted in the College’s Humanics philosophy of educating the whole person—spirit, mind, and body—our program develops educators who combine strong teaching skills with a deep commitment to equity, literacy, and student success.
Spirit – Become the kind of teacher who inspires students and changes lives.
Mind – Learn the science of teaching and learning.
Body – Practice teaching in real classrooms early and often.
By the time you graduate, you will be prepared to lead classrooms, support strong literacy development, and create equitable learning environments for every student.
