Florida Teachers Chatboard

Feb 4, 2017

I was wondering if anyone could give me the low - down (good and bad) about teaching in Marion County? I have a friend teaching there who LOVES it and wants me to go down too. I interviewed with his principal, but didn't get the job, but apparently they really liked me and want me to consider and re-apply.

What's up? Thanks, RL

I also have tons of guided reading and math games and exer...See More

Certification Questions

by Debbie W

Aug 21, 2016

Hello! I just recently decided to change careers and pursue teaching. I was a Communications major in college, and I'm finding the certification website a little confusing.
