Your Path to Success

Upon graduating with a B.S. in Exceptional Student Education (ESE), you will be certified to teach students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Daytona State College instructors provide the resources necessary for graduates to develop and teach lessons that accommodate the individual needs of ESE students. 

ESE teachers enjoy the challenge of helping exceptional students reach their full potential. These teachers also work with the families of students as well as the community to provide exceptional students with rich opportunities for learning. They are responsible for providing instruction in multiple content areas and may be required to obtain content area certification.
