Few careers are as rewarding, challenging, and exhilarating as being an elementary school teacher. The need for highly qualified and well-prepared elementary classroom and special education teachers is on the rise, too. Springfield College education students graduate from the program confident and ready to take on the vital role of teaching the nation’s youngest learners.

In the Elementary Education Major at Springfield College, students will learn a variety of teaching strategies that enable them to become highly skilled and effective teachers, and gain the confidence to educate and meet the needs of all students.
