Welcome to thirty-five potential new teachers

Local Historic City News reporters learned that St. Johns River Community College recently recognized 35 students for completing the teacher certification program.

SJRCC’s Educator Preparation Institute was developed in 2006 to streamline the certification process for non-education bachelor’s degree holders. The participants completed the coursework required to earn a Florida Professional Teaching Certificate.

Participants are awarded a Florida Professional Teaching Certificate upon completing the EPI courses, passing the Florida Teacher Certification Exam and submitting the required paperwork to the Florida Department of Education. No other coursework is required, and the program can be completed in less than a year – on campus or online.

The St. Johns County program graduates are Brendan Chamberlain, Andrea Cheney, Caitlin Constant, Korey Harrington, Keith Henry, Sandi Johnson, Michael Kilgallon, Megan Masucci, Jenny Moore-Jones, Sherri Nowatzki, Judy Piggott, Jonathan Veniard, Carol Williams and Daniel Wilson.
