They are generally two-year programs that you can take while working. PDCPs are offered by Florida public school districts or charter schools. This type of program is an alternative to completing required courses through a college or university.
You will need to complete an Initial Teacher Preparation (ITP) program, which is generally incorporated in a bachelor’s or master’s of education degree program. Taking this path leads you directly to earning the Florida Professional Certificate. The Florida Department of Education defines several routes you can take in order to qualify for the Florida Professional Certificate.
Although you can teach for several years with a temporary certificate, in the end you will need to earn the full professional certificate, the Florida Professional Certificate. To teach in Florida you need a bachelor’s degree and a teaching certificate (license). News and World Report published a report of the top 10 states for education-and Florida came in at #3! If you want to be a part of this success, read on to learn more about the myriad education programs in Florida. As a result, more teachers will be hired, training for existing teachers will be expanded, and classrooms will get the technology they need. I wound up choosing English because I liked the principal at my current school, and that's what she needed, but I did get offered a SS job when I moved.Lawmakers recently approved an increase in education funding of $ 20.2 billion for the 2020–2021 fiscal year. (Ironically, I can also teach SS in my current state and I've had more interviews here for it - back when I first moved and was looking - than in FL, since they were interested in someone who was experienced in teaching English for SS positions now that everywhere is changing to Common Core in some form and there's more literacy across the curriculum. That's easy enough to do in FL, unless it's changed. If you're testing in anyway, you might want to consider other subject area tests. When I taught in FL, I was certified in SS 6-12, English 6-12, and Elementary K-6, and I never even got a call for a SS interview except one that was SS and English mixed. Generally, social science jobs are not high demand (though FL has it better than other states with relatively high teacher turnover and class size requirements that allow for reasonable openings). That can take a significant amount of time and should be started ASAP if you want to be certified for next school year. If so, you can't do anything until you pass the test, submit the results, and have them verified.
From your post, it's unclear if you have that and these are requirements to move forward or if you need those to be eligible for the Temporary, but I'm guessing you need to take the test first. When I started, you needed the Statement of Eligibility to apply for most jobs (public or any that required certification).
