What is Florida’s Annual Program Performance Report? 

The Annual Program Performance Report, or APPR, is Florida’s accountability framework for state-approved teacher preparation programs. The Florida Department of Education publishes the results annually to show how programs perform on established measures and to help prospective candidates, school districts, policymakers, and programs understand program strengths and areas for improvement. Under the revised framework used for the 2024 report, programs are evaluated on Candidate Readiness, Workforce Contribution, Impact on Student Learning, and Annual Evaluation. 

What does the 3.6 overall APPR score mean? 

A 3.6 overall score on Florida’s four-point performance scale indicates strong results across the state’s program accountability measures. Based on the statewide results provided, this score places Florida Teachers of Tomorrow in the top tier of reported Educator Preparation Institute performance. The overall score should be understood as a program-level indicator based on multiple measures—not as a guarantee of certification, employment, classroom performance, or an individual candidate’s outcome.
