Notice of Proposed Rule

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

Division:

State Board of Education

Chapter:

CERTIFICATION

Overview

RULE:

6A-4.0164

Specialization Requirements for the Civics Seal of Excellence (Endorsement)

PURPOSE:

To create a certification endorsement for educators aligned to new civics curriculum and the Civic Literacy Excellence Initiative. The effect will be educators completing additional training in civics education to add an endorsement to their Florida educator certificates.

SUMMARY:

The Florida Department of Education (FDOE) currently offers endorsements in ten (10) subject areas including gifted, ESOL, and reading. Educators complete either college coursework or a FDOE approved training program to become eligible for the endorsements, which must be added to a valid certificate with at least one full subject coverage. At this time, a separate civics endorsement is not one of the ten (10) subject areas. The new rule will create an endorsement specifically in the area of civics education and it will outline the available pathway for educators to meet the subject requirements to add the endorsement to their valid educator certificates.
