Our graduates have good things to say about our education program:
Jessica Vigliotta -- teacher, Bradford Area High School
“I will be forever indebted to the
Education Department at Pitt-Bradford. Not only did the staff provide me with diverse
exposure to actual classroom experiences, but also supported my field in
English so that I may best serve my students on every level. I was able to
quickly secure a job in the Bradford Area School District immediately upon
graduating. I easily transitioned from the middle school to the high school
because of the strong background provided to me by my colleagues and
professors.”
Jessica Clark -- teacher, 7th grade English at a charter school in Rochester, N.Y.
“I had
a wonderful experience at Pitt-Bradford with great professors that used much of
their own experiences as teachers to help educate me along the way. I
still use a great deal of the lessons I have developed in undergrad to guide my
instruction. As of right now I am in graduate school to earn my master's degree in 5-12 Literacy. I want to thank all of my professors in
the Education department who really helped pave the way for me to become an
outstanding teacher!”
Jessica Resig -- instructional designer, Penn State Behrend
“The faculty members in Pitt-Bradford's Education Program created meaningful, authentic
learning experience that prepared me with the know-how and confidence necessary
to land a teaching position immediately after graduation, even in a very
competitive job market. Because of their guidance and expertise, I had the tools I needed to hit the ground running and build a
student-centered, rigorous classroom of my own.”
