Teachers make all other
professions possible, and recently, Maryland Governor Parris N.
Glendening recognized the importance of the teaching profession
when he said, "Our teachers have one of society's most critical
jobs, and provide our children with hope, opportunities, and a
brighter future each day." Recognizing the important role
of the teaching profession, a career in education offers
individuals the opportunity for a challenging and rewarding
career.
Because teachers are critically needed, many substantial loan
and scholarship programs are available to offset college
expenses, and salaries for teachers are increasing. Our gradates
obtain good jobs with competitive salaries and some receive
signing bonuses. Though the true rewards of teaching aren't
monetary, teachers receive salaries that enable them to live
comfortable lives. The work year for most teachers is 190 days,
or about 10 months; however, today's teacher has flexibility. If
a teacher desires, he or she can be employed year round and
increase annual earnings.
We enthusiastically invite
you to join our student-centered community of learners in the
School of Education. With the need for improved student
performance, the shortage of teachers, and our nation’s focus on
health issues, this is indeed a very exciting and challenging
time to be in education. Our students develop as leaders under
the guidance of our diverse and talented faculty. Many
substantial
loan and scholarship programs
are available to offset college expenses for those who commit to
a career in teaching. Our graduates obtain good jobs with
competitive salaries and enter challenging careers where they
make a difference in the lives of others.
We welcome an opportunity to
talk to you about your future. To learn more about our programs,

Sincerely,
