Overview

RULE:

6A-5.071

Professional Learning Catalogs

PURPOSE:

To remove Florida's Professional Learning Standards (to move them to a new rule), limit the awarding of inservice points for certain educators for mandatory training not linked to student learning or professional growth, and add institutions of higher education with a teacher preparation program approved pursuant to s. 1004.04, F.S., as entities eligible to develop and implement a professional learning system and catalog. The effect of this proposal is that organizations may have to amend policies regarding the awarding of inservice points and more entities will be eligible to provide professional learning opportunities to Florida’s teachers.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule sets forth the requirements for professional learning catalogs pursuant to s. 1012.98, F.S., by outlining the requirements for catalog components; setting submission, amendment, and review criteria; identifying the entities eligible to create a catalog; providing specifications for awarding inservice points; and prescribing record maintenance and data reporting requirements.
