Steps to Alternative Certification
Those choosing Alternative Certification in Florida have to go through a few steps.
For your Temporary Teaching Certificate all you need is:
- First, all people wanting Alternative Certification must have a Bachelor's Degree. It doesn't matter what the subject was, just that you have one. So, if you don't-- go do that.
- So, you have your Bachelors? The second step is getting your "Status of Eligibility" for a Temporary Teaching Certificate at this website. There, you must pay a $75 fee for each subject area they want to be certified in. (I paid 150 bucks for K-6 Elementary and Middle Grades Integrated Curriculum).
- Third, register for your FTCE test by going here. Each test costs $50 to take and $100 to retake. Buy a test information guide from the website for $5 while you're at it. It's very helpful and worth the cost. There are a variety of preparation materials you can get at bookstores, I've reviewed some here (link coming soon).
For your Temporary Teaching Certificate all you need is:
- Passing scores on your subject exam of choice (K-6, ESE, Middle Grades, etc.)
- Status of Eligibility (indicating you are eligible for your intended subject area)
- AND a teaching job (That's right. You don't get anything for being jobless. Just a piece of paper saying you're eligible. How worthless is that?)
- Passing scores on your Subject Area Exam (SAE), General Knowledge Test (GKT), and Professional Education Test (PET)
- Status of Eligibility (Indicating you've passed all these tests.=)
- AND a teaching job (Again. Yay)
