For the distant school, it turned out a very popular home ec teacher was leaving, and the school kept that hidden. The school wanted me to come in and switch the kids on the first day from home ec to a demanding tech program,as I am certified in tech and business ed. My high school age children seemed worried about this, as they thought that students who signed up to make nachos etc, and would have a break period, would not like being switched into another subject that required a great deal of work. The principal had no books or lesson plans but just said BE A CHEERLEADER, I DONT WANT ANY KIDS DROPPING OUT THE FIRST DAY OR I LOSE MONEY IF THEY SIGN UP FOR FLVS. I felt somewhat sad as I really felt I could bring a lot to the table, but I guess I seemed hesitant. The FLDOE had set out a great deal of standards, and I did not think I could make that into a no homework class. I did not realize you had to sell yourself and the elective or the school lost money and could terminate you. It makes a difference as my entire family would have to relocate.
If this happens again, should I just nod and say Yes I will sell it, no matter the circumstances. I genuinely was worried that kids would drop when they found out on the first day it was not home ec, and I could not make the subject homeworkless.

This sounds like a tremendous amount of work for the teacher of this class; no lesson plans, book, or curriculum guide. I agree with your kids; I think there will be many students who will feel duped and will run to guidance to get their schedule changed.
I'm not sure if you still need this info, but here it is:
I just passed test last week. Broward County Schools (2nd link) is all the info you need. I made an Interactive notebook. Printed ALL the slides and studied and studied since school let out (about 3 weeks, but 8 hours plus a day). Good luck!

My name is Jonelle Pollard and I am currently conducting research at Barry University for the College of Education. My research targets 3rd thru 5th grade Public School teachers in Florida. I would greatly appreciate it if you could take no more than 10 minutes out of your day to complete my survey.
Do teachers in Florida pay into Social Security or into a te teachers fund as in OH CA NV and some other states. I teach in Cleveland Ohio and My classes this year were up t to 45 students per class, what is the class size in Florida. Thank you for your time.
I have currently taken the Elementary Ed Social Science test twice and failed. I cannot seem to find any study materials that are correct. Can anyone help?
I took and passed K-6 last week. Even though I already have Social Studies certification, there was no way to prepare for the SS section. The study material available is inadequate.
I've applied for several elementary teaching positions there. I have 23 years experience in KY. Anyone know about the school system there- good or bad? Thanks so much!
