by Joshua Daniels

Jun 30, 2016

So I moved to Florida 5 years ago and I received teaching degree from New York. I had to renew Florida Certification after five years so this FTCE subject area test was first for me. I passed the math, social studies, and science first try. I can only say the questions are just knowledge questions, questions you should have learned through life and...See More

A+ money

by FL Teacher

Feb 12, 2016

Does anyone know if we will get the A+ money this year? My school earned an A, and we voted last month on how to disperse the funds. I've heard that we won't necessarily get any money this year ... Thanks!

FL Teacher We received our A+ money as a separate check today. It was the earliest it could be disbursed, apparently. It should be in one of your June checks.

FTCE Middle Grades English

by Christy

Mar 27, 2016

Can anyone recommend any adolescent literature I should read before taking the FTCE Middle Grades English exam. I have been told that there are some text specific questions. I have been using every practice test I can find to study, but I also want to make sure that I am familiar with any specific literature that is on the exam.

Thanks :)

S. from FL Hi Ruth, I was in a similar position. Go to the FL DOE website and read about becoming a "career changer". Then write to the DOE and tell them what subject area and grade(s) you are interested in teaching. If I remember correctly (it was a long time ago) you can send in all of your college transcipts and for a fee, they will analyze every...See More

K-6 Elementary Test

by Daley

Mar 28, 2016

Why is the K-6 Elementary test so difficult to pass. I swear I have been trying to pass the test for the past year. I have taken it several times with not LUCK. I also think that they switch the test and it's truly hard to find content to study / prepare for the test.
