Overview

RULE:

6A-14.030

Postsecondary Instructional Unit Definitions and Awards in Florida College System Institutions

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the rule amendment is to define and formalize the Certificate of Professional Preparation as the appropriate credential for Educator Preparation Institute (EPI) program completers. Also to adopt the Florida Community College System Program Length Document as updated. The effect is a rule which incorporates the new credential for Educator Preparation Institute.

SUMMARY:

Section 1004.85(3)(c), Florida Statutes, requires that a credential be provided to Educator Preparation Institute participants who successfully complete their programs of study. There is currently no existing credential or certificate that may be issued to baccalaureate degree holders who are preparing for a professional license such as the Florida Professional Teaching Certificate. The proposed amendment would define and formalize this process.
