The College of Education at Daytona State College offers a variety of programs for individuals to further their education. The School of Adult Education provides opportunities for attainment of a high school diploma or equivalent in addition to offering classes for non-native English speakers (English for Speakers of Other Languages, ESOL). Within the School of Education, individuals with an AA degree interested in pursuing a career in teaching may apply to one of the five programs in the Bachelor of Science in Education (BSED). The Educator Preparation Institute (EPI), also in the School of Education, is a pathway for alternative teacher certification for individuals who already hold a Bachelor’s degree.
Mission Statement
The College of Education will facilitate a unique learning environment in each program that will allow students to enhance their skills and reach their desired goals, whether it be skill attainment or program completion.

In Volusia County Public Schools alone, there are 99 different languages. Next fall, a Russian charter school will be started in Flagler County, according to Les Potter, chair of Daytona State’s School of Education.

This annual event is sponsored by the school’s PTA and was supported by College of Education students who visit the school daily to tutor children in the Holly Hill Extended Day program. These pre-service teachers were involved in planning and set-up for the event as well as participating in the action with parents, teachers and Holly Hill students.
During the fall semester the School of Adult Education conducted three career pathway cohorts that provided students with the opportunity to learn more about careers of interest. In Deltona, the students in the cosmetology cohort were given the opportunity to experience an integrated curriculum that infused basic skills and career pathways together, as well as participate in a peer shadowing day that allowed each student to get first hand exposure to the DSC Cosmetology program. In Daytona, students in the allied health and cosmetology cohorts examined the skills that would be necessary to enter into their chosen fields. They also took place in exercises that demonstrated skills necessary to be successful as an employee. They examine communication, language, research, critical thinking and presentation skills. In the spring, the new Public Safety cohort will be launched!
