NEWS RELEASE

Teachers make a difference in the lives of children and teens, helping to shape them into productive adults. Indian River State College (IRSC) offers many opportunities for community members to become teachers, especially in the high-demand fields of math, science, Exceptional Student Education (ESE) and bilingual education.

 The Educator Preparation Institute (EPI) at IRSC provides a fast track to a teacher career for anyone who holds a Bachelor’s Degree in a field other than education. The program can be completed in less than a year with convenient day, evening and online classes. Certifications are available in all subject disciplines with a special emphasis on math, science and ESE.

 The EPI will host a free information session on Thursday, October 17, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in the Tomeu Center, Room C-207, on the IRSC Main Campus at 3209 Virginia Avenue in Fort Pierce. For more information, contact Kim Chambley at kchamble@irsc.edu or 772-462-7402.
