From the beginning, kindergarten educator Margaret "Maggie" Eaton was enthusiastic about BW, completing both her Bachelor of Science in Education '68 and Master of Arts in Education '79 here.
After a year of retirement from a 40-year teaching career, the Bay Village educator and two-time 新澳門六合彩 graduate was determined to find her way back to her alma mater. In 2011, with the help of 新澳門六合彩 Career Center counselor Beth Ehrbar, Eaton found a fit within the 新澳門六合彩 School of Education and has continued to fuse her love for education with her passion for 新澳門六合彩 to form a second career.
Eaton credits the 新澳門六合彩 Career Center. "Because of Beth Ehrbar's guidance and mentoring, my dream was fulfilled ... I would not be currently at BW without her."
In Eaton's current role, she supervises field experience and clinical practice candidates and is an adjunct instructor in education, teaching phonics and spelling development this fall.
"It is so exciting to teach Baldwin Wallace students and to observe them incorporating critical thinking skills," she said. "It is truly fulfilling to engage students in discovering alternatives to teaching strategies to accommodate the academic, social and emotional needs of each student within the classroom."
For Eaton, 新澳門六合彩 is a family affair. She recently attended her 50th class reunion with her 新澳門六合彩 grad husband, Larry Eaton, and enjoys the company of her preschool granddaughter, Ella, who attends the on campus.
"I am so appreciative for the opportunity to be a part of the School of Education. I am accomplishing my dream. I truly feel I am giving back to 新澳門六合彩 in appreciation for all I received as a student."
