  1. Does the BSED program satisfy Reading and ESOL endorsements?

Elementary Education and Exceptional Student Education majors will be fully endorsed in Reading and ESOL. Secondary Mathematics and Secondary Science majors will have completed ESOL-infused course work in their content, which will qualify them to teach their content area with ESOL modifications and strategies to ESOL students. This is not a full ESOL endorsement for Secondary Education majors, but it will satisfy the requirement that meets the Florida Consent Decree stipulations for content area teachers.

  1. Are Education students required to complete a Senior Internship?

Yes, the last semester of all BSED programs will require students complete a senior internship (unpaid). This is a full-time, semester-long student teaching assignment. Student interns are assigned to a teacher and classroom for the full semester and assume the duties and responsibilities of a full-time teacher under the supervision of their assigned Clinical Education Certified Volusia or Flagler County teacher host.
