APRIL 23, 2018 – FORT MYERS, FLA. – For the fourth consecutive semester, 100 percent of Florida SouthWestern State College’s (FSW) School of Education graduating teacher candidates have received job offers for local teaching positions.
FSW’s School of Education provides a rigorous learning environment ensuring teacher candidates will achieve their greatest potential.
“FSW’s teacher education program immediately begins preparing our students to work in the classroom by putting them in the field at the very start of their education,” said Dr. Joyce Rollins, chair, School of Education. “Additionally, we have high expectations for initiative and passion, and our professors model teaching with both passion and dignity.”
All 39 candidates in the class of 2018 received the offers during the FSW School of Education’s annual teachers’ career fair held on the FSW Thomas Edison Campus.
“The teachers’ career fair allows us to provide an additional level of support to our students and to welcome our district partners to FSW,” said Dr. Larry Miller, dean, School of Education. “It is also nice to see some friendly competition across district boundaries for our hardworking and well-prepared future teachers.”
“We are so proud of all of the hard work of our teacher candidates, and we are confident that they will positively impact the lives of children in southwest Florida,” Dr. Rollins said.
