Where in the world are School of Education faculty and staff this summer?

Dr. Lockard is spending her summer in Croatia with her little dog, Bernie, enjoying beautiful views and a pool right on the beach.

Not a bad way to spend the summer.

Looking back on the incredible experiences our Lakeland High School Educator Academy students had at Roberts Academy this past year. Through hands-on classroom experiences, students explored the teaching profession, worked alongside educators and Florida Southern College preservice teachers, and gained valuable insight into supporting diverse learners. Partnerships like these help inspire and prepare the next generation of educators.

Throwing it back to our community collaboration at Philip O’Brien Elementary this past year!

Throwback to Undercover Spirit Week 25–26 when School of Education faculty brought their favorite drinks in “anything but a cup.”

The creativity was hilarious, and the competition was strong. From random containers to totally unexpected choices, faculty definitely understood the assignment.

One of many fun memories from this school year.

Our preservice teachers created and implemented learning activities for students and families while gaining valuable hands-on experience in a school setting.

Experiences like these help prepare future teachers long before internship begins.

Where in the world are School of Education faculty and staff this summer?

Dr. Mitchell is spending part of the summer storm chasing in the Midwest and seeing some incredible weather along the way.

Definitely not your average summer hobby.

We can’t wait to see where the rest of summer takes us!
