The Syracuse University School of Education is the education school of Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York. Founded in 1906, the school is dedicated to training highly skilled and knowledgeable practitioners, teachers, administrators, counselors, and scholars.

History
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][6]
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]
