School of Education Earns State Approval
Feb 10, 2012
The Florida Department of Education has approved five bachelor degree programs offered at Edison State College’s School of Education. The Bachelor level programs receiving this approval are:
· Mathematics (Grades 6-12)
· Middle Grades Mathematics (Grades 5-9)
· Middle Grades English (Grades 5-9)/ESOL Endorsement/Reading Endorsement
· Biology (Grades 6-12)
· Middle Grades General Science (Grades 5-9)
In 2009, the Elementary Education program gained state approval. Since that time, more than 90% of the program graduates have joined the workforce as educators.
“The state’s approval of our teacher programs is further endorsement of the rigor and quality of the bachelor’s degrees that our students earn at Edison. This approval is above and beyond what is required by SACS, our accrediting agency,” said Dr. Erin Harrel, Interim Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of the School of Education, Edison State College. “Our students graduate with an exceptional level of expertise that makes them effective educators and leaders.”
