I am frustrated b/c I have a FL state cert in English and
Intergarted Curriculum. IC allows me to teach all subject
areas (English,Math,Science, Social Science)Grades 5-9. I
submitted and was told that IC was not recognized. I went
back to state and "sectioned off" my subjects and re-
submitted with General Science added seperate. I planned to
add Math etc at a later point (money and time contraints) I
STILL was told that the newly added Science was no good
since I "tested out." Thing is...the rules CLEARLY state
that a state license in the subject area being applied for
trumps needing credit hours and that I would have 2 years
to get the courses needed. Has anyone else had this
problem? I have plead my case several times to deaf ears.
How can they ignore their own rules? I keep hearing
how "black and white" the HR is about certifications but
that is not my experience!
