Florida State College at Jacksonville is offering a Comprehensive Alternative Teaching Certification to those interested to enter the teaching profession, or those who simply want to advance their teaching career. This program, which is offered through the Educator Preparation Institute’s Teach First Coast was created to respond to the increasing shortage of teachers in the state of Florida and prepares non-education majors with a Bachelor’s degree to earn the Professional Florida Educator Certificate. Those who successfully complete FSCJ’s Comprehensive Alternative Teaching Certification will be prepared to sit the Professional Educator Test.

The Comprehensive Alternative Teaching Certification offered through FSCJ’s Teach First Coach combines participant interaction with a rigorous curriculum and competency-based instruction. All the program’s instructors are successful K-12 educators with a wealth of professional experience and, in order to enhance teacher effectiveness, the process of “reflective learning”is utilized throughout the full program.

FSCJ’s Comprehensive Alternative Teaching Certification is available as a hybrid or online blended program, where some courses are held online, while some must be taken on campus. However, the program can be taken fully online as well. The flexibility of FSCJ’s program is what makes it ideal for working professionals as they are able to earn their certificate without making significant changes to their personal and professional lifestyles.
