BSaint Leo University has been a leader in offering high-quality education degree programs to future teachers and those looking to advance in their careers within the education ecosystem. The university finally unveiled a Doctor of Education (EdD) in School Leadership program in the fall of 2018. This doctoral program now accompanies the undergraduate and master's-level education programs at Saint Leo.

In this episode of the Saint Leo 360 podcast, we visit with Dr. Cheri Gallman, a Saint Leo University alumna who has earned multiple education degrees from the university, most recently the Doctor of Education. Gallman talked about:

  • Her family, current work, and hobbies
  • How she discovered Saint Leo University and initially attended one of the university's Education Centers to earn her bachelor's in elementary education
  • Her online Master of Education (Med) with a concentration in Reading degree program
  • Completing the Education Specialist (EdS) program and how this was a springboard toward the doctoral degree program
  • Why she chose to pursue the Doctor of Education (EdD) in School Leadership
  • The availability of her instructors and how they were always willing to help her in a timely manner
  • How she and her fellow classmates in her cohort had mutual support for each other during the doctoral program
  • The topic of her dissertation and how it was so unintentionally relevant to virtual education during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
  • How the curriculum in the Doctor of Education program has benefited her career as a teacher
  • Her original career and how she got interested in teaching after homeschooling her children for a period of time
  • Her work with Florida Virtual School as a middle school language arts teacher and as a new adjunct instructor for Saint Leo University
  • Why she says it's never too late to earn a degree, even a doctoral degree
