Purpose


To remove Florida's Professional Learning Standards (to move them to a new rule), limit the awarding of inservice points for certain educators for mandatory training not linked to student learning or professional growth, and add institutions of higher education with a teacher preparation program approved pursuant to s. 1004.04, F.S., as entities eligible to develop and implement a professional learning system and catalog. The effect of this proposal is that organizations may have to amend policies regarding the awarding of inservice points and more entities will be eligible to provide professional learning opportunities to Florida’s teachers.
