New teaching method explored
Daytona State College of Education has teamed with the University of Central Florida to develop new strategies for teaching and learning in an inclusive classroom setting, where students with and without disabilities learn together, according to a press release.
Future teachers in the college’s education programs will be able to incorporate the strategies into their syllabi and classroom environment. The partnership is funded through a Florida Department of Education grant of just over $14,000.
Studies show that inclusion is beneficial for all students, not just those who receive special education services, according to the press release. The inclusive classroom adheres to the principle that students learn differently. One strategy is to break students into small groups so teaching can be tailored to the way each student learns best.
Financial advisor recognized
Rodney A. Meyering, a financial advisor with Ameriprise Financial in Daytona Beach, has qualified for the company’s Circle of Success annual recognition program. Meyering, of Ormond Beach, is one of three advisors in the area receiving the recognition, according to spokeswoman Molly Shoup.
Call 760-2000 or visit the office at ONE Daytona Boulevard, Suite 270.
