Testimonials
Janelle Brooks, Graduate Certificate in Instructional Coaching '14, M.Ed '15
“Lipscomb definitely made candidates (prepared) for administrative positions. We got a view of every single situation you can think of: racial diversity, elementary age vs. middle school age vs. high school. There is no school or interview I will walk into and not be confident about being able to offer them something.”
Jesse Savage, B.A. '04, M.Ed. '07, Ed.D. '20
“I have a lot of previous experience with Lipscomb and love both the community and programs I have been a part of in the past. The professors at Lipscomb are second to none. They truly care about their students' learning and growth. The organization and intentionality of the program to apply theory and research to practice has been refreshing.”
Megan Parker Peters, Director of Accreditation, Assessment and Research
“Our college's faculty strives to be and give their best each day while preparing tomorrow’s educators. Their dedication to high-quality preparation is reflected here.”
Heather Peske, NCTQ President
