Current STEM Teacher

"I can now see that I was so prepared to begin a difficult job, teaching, because I graduated from your program. I see others that graduate from different schools that are not nearly as prepared as I am. Thank you for everything!!"

“It’s so rewarding to see the learning happen. It is even more rewarding to see students get excited about a subject like math. That’s what makes me love my job.”

“Teaching is fun! I get a lot out of it and really enjoy it. As a teacher, I get to create the exciting environment that I want to work in everyday and that’s really rare to be able to do.”

"Teaching is the best job in the world. I like to tell people that my wife and I are happily married with 700 kids. Not only do I enjoy being around students, but staff as well. The camaraderie that we have is second to none! Teaching provides opportunities to enhance your life and the lives of others. U of SC equips students with the necessary tools and experiences so that they can confidently conquer their first year of teaching."
