Florida Teachers of Tomorrow Candidates

On May 13, the state of Florida Department of Education provided guidance for perspective candidates in light of difficulties brought on by COVID-19.

Candidates who currently hold a Temporary Certificate which is due to expire on 6/30/2020 now have until December. The new Temporary Certificate deadline is 12/31/2020. See section VII of Emergency Order.

This extension should grant candidates more time to take and pass required state certification exams.

Should you have further questions, the best way to get in touch with us is via email at teach@floridateachers.org. Alternatively, you may reach us at 866-778-3224. If you call, please leave one voicemail, stating your name, phone number, and reason for calling. This is the best way to ensure we can put you in touch with the right person to respond to your query.

As always, thank you for your continued support. We will update this page with new information, so please check back regularly.
