🎶 Sometimes the biggest moments in learning start with something simple.

A song.
A dance.
A child realizing… “I belong here.”

That’s the environment Brittany Barbatelli creates every day inside her pre-K classroom at Duval County Public Schools Anchor Academy Elementary. 🍎

Nineteen years into teaching, Brittany still lights up watching students experience school for the very first time.

“It is the first experience the kids have in school… and I enjoy getting to show them what school really means and starting that foundation.” — Brittany Barbatelli

Inside her classroom, learning is active, interactive, and full of energy because Brittany says young learners absorb everything around them.

“They are like little sponges… you can physically see the light bulbs going off inside their heads.” 💡

And for Brittany, there’s nowhere else she would rather be.

“I’m in my dream job… I like to see the impact I can have on the tiny humans I get to work with.”

That’s the heart behind Team Duval. Creating classrooms where students feel excited, supported, and ready to grow from day one. 💙

✨ What happens when students feel confident enough to take chances in the classroom?

Inside Rebecca Snyder’s classroom at Dinsmore Elementary, learning comes alive through connection, movement, and trust. Students spread out across the room, collaborate with classmates, and build confidence in real time. 📚💡

For Rebecca, teaching has always been more than a job. After 11 years at Dinsmore Elementary, she says the relationships built with students are what make the biggest impact. From flexible seating to interactive math lessons, everything in her classroom is designed to help students feel comfortable enough to participate, ask questions, and succeed.

“When you’re able to get on their level, you’re then able to unlock what they’re learning.”

Rebecca says what makes Duval County Public Schools different is the family atmosphere and support system that surrounds both students and teachers every day. ❤️

🚀💻 The future of STEM is already growing at Duval County Public Schools S.P. Livingston Accelerated Primary Learning Center and it’s happening one line of code at a time.

Inside Kadi Welty’s Girls Who Code program, young students are learning more than computers. They’re building confidence, problem-solving skills, and discovering that they belong in technology and STEM careers too. 👩‍💻✨

“It's really important for our girls… see how girls can do just equal to anybody else out there when it comes to technology in STEM.” — Kadi Welty

From vocabulary to block coding, these students are learning how powerful their ideas can become when educators create opportunities to explore, dream, and lead. ❤️

Most high school students are still figuring out what they want to do in the future.

At Duval County Public Schools Fletcher High School, some are already flying in it. 🚁

Inside Elizabeth Michaels’ drone program, students are earning college credit, learning real-world aviation skills, and preparing to leave high school with FAA drone certifications already in hand.

And this isn’t just about flying drones for fun. These students are exploring careers connected to sports, engineering, surveying, emergency response, and technology that is rapidly changing the workforce around us.

“This is the future. I mean, the future is now… and this is the future.”

That’s what makes this program special. Students aren’t waiting for opportunity someday. They’re getting a head start right now at Duval County Public Schools. 💙

📚 For Kelly Klinger, reading is more than words on a page. It’s opportunity. It’s confidence. It’s the path that helps students move forward. ❤️
