Jeanna Rogers

Majors
Early Childhood Education

Hometown:
Fort Dodge, IA
 
Why did you chose UNI's Teacher Education program:
Ever since I was a young girl I’ve always had a passion for young children and wanted to be a teacher. My instant connection with kids led to my decision of attending UNI where I’m majoring in early childhood education.
 
What academic experiences have had a major impact on you:
In high school we had a course where we job shadowed in a classroom for the entire quarter. This was a great eye-opening experience for me and helped me finalize my career decision. The field experiences at UNI also give early access to classroom experiences. I also plan to do Camp Adventure next summer either overseas or in Hawaii.
 

How has your College of Education scholarship created opportunities for you :
Being awarded a scholarship serves as motivation for me to work harder in the classroom and push myself to receive good grades. The money received helps with tuition bills so I am able to continue my education.

 

What would you tell a prospective student who’s considering the UNI teacher education program:
The teacher education program is a wonderful program that boosts confidence in the classroom early on by putting prospective teachers out in the classrooms to gain knowledge and hands-on skills that are crucial to teaching. I also like the smaller scale classrooms which allows for professors to be more interactive and personable with their students on a one-to-one basis.

 

What are your career plans :
After graduation it would be my dream to take my teaching degree to the East coast, preferably North Carolina, where I will teach anywhere from infancy to first-graders.
