Purpose
The purpose of this proposed rule development is to adopt the Fifth Edition of the FELE Competencies and Skills for the Florida Educational Leadership Examination (FELE). Additional rule amendments will include: renaming and updating selected FELE subtests, removing obsolete rater and rating requirements, establishing passing scores, amending the score verification process, and specifying a minimum of 31 days between testing and retesting. Effective dates for these changes will be specified in the rule amendment. With these changes, the FELE program will be updated to include new competencies and skills, new passing scores and scoring processes, as well as greater access to score verification sessions. In addition, examinees will be required to wait at least 31 days before retaking a failed examination.
