The Margaret Olivia Slocum Teacher's College (Yates Castle) hosted the school from 1906 until 1934.
Prior to the establishment of the school, Syracuse University offered classes through the Department of Philosophy to train students interested in becoming teachers.[1] In 1906, Margaret Olivia Slocum Sage, a philanthropist, former teacher, and wife of financier Russell Sage, gifted the now demolished Yates Castle along with a generous endowment to the university and officially established the Margaret Olivia Slocum Teachers’ College of Syracuse University.[1][7]
After decades of growth, the school was renamed Syracuse University School of Education under the leadership of Dean Harry Ganders in 1934.[1]
In 1946, the school pioneered a Special Education program that applied progressive views to teaching people with various disabilities.[1]
The school offers several bachelor's degrees, including Inclusive Childhood Education, Inclusive Adolescent Education, Music Education, Selected Studies in Education, and Social Work.[3]
Graduate programs
The school offers a wide range of graduate programs beyond training the next generation of teachers. For example, it currently provides master's degrees in Childhood Education, Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Higher Education, Literacy Education, Music Education, Social Work, and School Counseling,[4] as well as doctoral degrees in Counseling and Counselor Education, Education, and Educational Leadership.[5]
