Educators Rising is an exciting community movement where school chapters help students kickstart their journey into teaching. Supported by State Departments of Education, area schools, and local organizations, this initiative paves the way for a diverse and high-quality teaching force.
The USD School of Education supports Educators Rising chapters by hosting a free USD EdRising Day, presenting at Educators Rising events, and sponsoring students to attend the Educators Rising National Conference.
Abbie Wiebers is a two-time graduate of the University of South Dakota’s School of Education, earning her degrees in Elementary & Special Education in 2018 and School Psychology in 2022.
We’re excited to welcome her back to campus as she shares her experiences in the world of education and gives us a closer look at her work as a School Psychologist with The Cornbelt Educational Cooperative in Sioux Falls.

Last month, the University of South Dakota School of Education proudly supported incoming education students at Educators Rising signing days across the state.
My experience at USD EdRising Day was great! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. All my questions were answered, and the student panel showed me exactly how I want to be as a student at USD.
