Happy Summer, future educators! ☀️🍎

If you are planning to complete your Senior Internship during Fall 2026 or Spring 2027, it is time to begin preparing for an important internship requirement: the First Days of School Internship Assignment! 🏫✨

To complete this assignment, you will need to attend:
📌 At least one teacher planning day during pre-planning week

This experience will give you a firsthand look at the behind-the-scenes preparation teachers complete before students arrive and the excitement of welcoming students on the first day of school. 💙

Students should complete this assignment in their assigned fall internship placement classroom. If you have not yet received your placement, you may complete the assignment in a previous field experience classroom. Students placed with FLVS should work with a previous brick-and-mortar classroom teacher to complete this requirement.

📝 Be sure to:
✅ Review the assignment instructions carefully
✅ Bring the provided hours log to your cooperating teacher
✅ Have your teacher sign the log by hand
✅ Save your completed assignment and log to upload into Falcon Online once your Senior Internship course opens

📅 Important Dates for Brevard, Flagler & Volusia Counties:

🚔📚 Building Stronger Partnerships Through Education 💙💛

The Daytona State College School of Education is proud to share that Professor Diefendorf had the opportunity to present during this summer's School Resource Officer (SRO) Training!

Professor Diefendorf led an engaging session covering all things Exceptional Student Education (ESE), including disability awareness, IDEA, IEPs, behavior supports, accommodations, de-escalation strategies, and best practices for working with students with disabilities. The presentation emphasized the vital role School Resource Officers play in fostering safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environments for every student.

Collaboration between educators and law enforcement is essential, and we are grateful for the opportunity to support the professional development of those who serve our schools every day.

Thank you to all of the School Resource Officers for your commitment to our students and your dedication to learning how to better support the diverse needs of every child. Together, we're building stronger schools and stronger communities!

💙💛
