History
edit.jpg)
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][7]
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]
