New Subject Area Fee Waivers
Senate Bill 7002 establishes the waiver of initial subject area exam fees and certification fees for a teacher who holds a temporary or professional certificate in Exceptional Student Education K-12 who applies to add a subject coverage in Elementary Education K-6. The same is true for one who currently holds a valid certificate in Elementary, to gain a waiver for ESE K-12.

FLDOE Introduces Additional Pathways for Teacher Certification:
New/Returning Teachers
All first-time Florida educators must send their official college transcripts to the Florida Dept. of Education. Transcripts must be mailed to the FLDOE, unless sent electronically through FASTER or SPEEDE.
If you have a degree from another country, it must be evaluated by an accredited organization to determine its US equivalency, and then the official evaluation should be mailed to the FLDOE.
