Overview

RULE:

6A-5.066

Approval of Teacher Preparation Programs

PURPOSE:

To update the Florida Site Visit Framework to align with s. 1004.04, F.S., requiring a minimum of 12 weeks of student teaching. The Department will update the Florida Site Visit Framework to provide clarity on specific review areas. Amendments will be added to the rule to require specific programs to include the reading endorsement competencies. These changes will include adding the Exceptional Student Education certification subject area as being required to receive training in all five reading endorsement competencies, resulting in candidates earning the reading endorsement. The Exceptional Student Education change aligns with s. 1004.04(2)(c), F.S., and Rule 6A-4.0051, F.A.C. Additional considerations to the Annual Program Performance Report metrics will ensure that Florida maintains high-quality educator preparation programs.
