This report presents the results of a review of Florida's teacher certification system, administered by the Department of Education. The review addressed: (1) how Florida should regulate teachers to ensure that they are professionally qualified and possess the credentials, knowledge, and skills to provide a quality education; (2) who should administer teacher certification; and (3) whether a process has been established to assess whether the current teacher certification system is effectively meeting its intent. Conclusions and recommendations include: Florida would not be assuring that its teachers were professionally qualified if it did not regulate teachers or regulate teachers using registration; the disadvantages of licensure warrant caution; the Department of Education should administer a teacher certification system; Florida needs to establish a thorough certification system; Florida's certification requirements are similar to those of other states; performance measures need to be developed; and the proposed certification system does not include a student performance assessment element. Recommendations focus on: the type of performance-based teacher certification system to adopt; what the State Board of Education needs to ensure when approving a performance-based system; and the need for the Board of Education to develop goals and objectives for teacher certification. The appendix presents a response from the Department of Education. (SM)
