Secondary Business Education

“I was very pleased with the level of experience the faculty at IW had.  In my mind, if an education program is going to have success it needs to have experience, like the one at IW.  I am more prepared for my current teaching career because of the courses and faculty and staff.”

“It’s safe to say that I underestimated the power of reading to change a student’s academic outcome until I took Primary Literacy. It was in Primary Lit that I developed a passion for reading and acquired the belief that all students can learn to read . Through that class and others like Remedial and Diagnostic Reading, I had the knowledge and skills to help me successfully complete my Reading Practicum and make it a positive growing experience. My goal is to obtain a position as a reading specialist or as an educator in a general education classroom.  I feel confident that I can provide quality reading instruction in both of those positions.”

“My coursework at Iowa Wesleyan provided me with the instructional strategies and classroom management skills that I need to be an effective teacher. The professors at IW are very knowledgeable and genuinely care about their students.”

“The classes I’ve taken at Iowa Wesleyan have helped convince me that I am destined to be a Special Education teacher. Working as a Paraeducator for the past 7 years and my classes have given me the confidence to take this next step in my life’s journey and I couldn’t be more excited! Thank you IW!”

“The instruction I received in Early Childhood fully prepared me to be successful in the classroom. The professors made the learning very engaging and relevant. I really look forward to having my own Early Childhood classroom and implementing everything that I have learned!”
