So thankful to have k12 school partners who understand the importance of field experience. It takes a village to create a Warrior teacher!

ESU College of Education Places Over 200 Students in Classrooms for Hands-on Training Over 200 future educators from ESU’s College of Education gained hands-on experience through field experience and student teaching during the Spring 2026 academic semester.

So proud of all of our graduates. Go out and show everyone the Warrior way!
