Avètisman sou tradiksyon yo

Mèsi pou vizit ou fè nan sit entènèt Distri Lekòl Rejyon Palm Beach la (“Website”). Ou kab tradui sit entènèt sa a an plizyè lang diferan si w itilize Google™ Translate kòm sèvis yon lòt antite (the “Service”) ki founi sèvis wobo pou fè tradiksyon otomatik paj sit yo sou entènèt la. Nou mete sèvis Google™ Translate sa a aladispozisyon itilizatè oswa ou menm ("User" oswa “You”) kòm yon sèvis piblik gratis.

TANPRI, BYEN LI AVÈTISMAN AN AVAN OU ITILIZE SÈVIS LA.

Malgre sèvis tradiksyon Google la itilize teknoloji avanse dènye kri, li pa itilize entèvansyon moun pou fè tradiksyon yo. Kidonk, tradiksyon ki fèt nan kad sèvis sa a ki founi la a sèlman bay yon ide apwoksimatif sou kontni reyèl sa ki di nan vèsyon orijinal sit entènèt la. Ou pa ta dwe repoze w sèlman sou Google™ Translate pou jwenn yon tradiksyon egzat sa sit entènèt la vle di. Se PA tout pati nan tèks yo ki kab tradui kòrèkteman epi ou kab menm jwenn kèk pati nan sit entènèt yo ki pa kab tradui ditou. Gen kèk fichye ak lòt pati ankò ki pa kab tradui, tankou paegzanp men se pa sa sèlman, bouton grafik yo, meni an woulo yo ak foto yo. Anplis, genyen kèk aplikasyon ak/oswa sèvis ki gen dwa pa kab fonksyone nòmalman jan pou yo ta dwe apre yo fin tradui.

Distri lekòl la pa gen kontwòl sou nati, kontni ak kredi sèvis la epi natirèlman, li pa kapab garanti okenn presizyon, fyabilite, oswa ponktyalite tradiksyon. Ni manb komite egzekitif distri a, ni lekòl yo oswa anplwaye distri a, pa aksepte okenn responsabilite pou fot oswa erè nan tradiksyon an oswa responsabilite pou nenpòt pèt, domaj ak lòt pwoblèm, ki pa limite ak, konsekans pèt endirèk enpòtan oswa domaj ki rive an koneksyon avèk itilizasyon sèvis tradiksyon Google la.

Course Code Directory

Out of Field (OOF)

Teachers are identified as out-of-field based upon their teaching assignments and student enrollment, as provided for in the Florida Department of Education Course Code Directory and Instructional Personnel Assignment Manual. Teachers who teach one or more classes of a subject that is not a subject area listed on their Florida Educator’s Certificate are considered out-of-field.

If you are asked to accept a teaching assignment in a subject that does not appear on your Florida Educator’s Certificate, then you are considered out-of-field.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is my responsibility if I accept an out-of-field assignment?

You are required to sign an Out-of-Field Agreement that states:

you will complete six (6) semester hours of college credit in the subject area you are teaching out-of-field by the end of the school year

you will take and pass the Subject Area Exam in the area you are teaching out-of-field and add that subject to your Florida Educator’s Certificate.

Will I be notified if I am teaching out-of-field?

An out-of-field email is sent to each teacher identified as out-of-field. The email is specific to each teacher’s teaching assignment.

What is the quickest and easiest way for me to meet the out-of-field requirements?

For most teachers, the quickest and easiest route for meeting the out-of-field requirements is to take and pass the Subject Area Exam for the area in which you are out-of-field. Once you pass the exam, bring the Official Score Report to the Certification Office, complete an application, and pay the fee to add the subject area to your teaching certificate. Information about the Subject Area Exams is located at www.fl.nesinc.com or by clicking on the FTCE Registration link on this page.

What if there is no subject area exam corresponding with my out-of-field subject?

If you are out-of-field for Reading, Guidance, Gifted, ESOL, ASD, or ASL, you will need to complete the course requirement.

Can I take a Subject Area Exam for Reading?

No - for Reading, you need a Masters Degree and the Reading Subject Area Exam, or successful completion of the Reading Endorsement.

What will happen if I do not complete the required coursework or pass the appropriate ssubject area exam?

A teacher can be out-of-field only once in a career unless he/she completes coursework or passes the Subject Area Exam in the out-of-field subject area and adds the subject to the teaching certificate.

Teachers may not accept or be placed in another out-of-field assignment in any subject until the required coursework is completed or Subject Area Exam is passed and documentation is submitted to the Certification Office prior to June 30 of the current school year.

Failure to obtain the minimum requirements may result in termination.

(State Board of Education Administrative Rule 6A-1.0503)

Will inservice points satisfy my out-of-field agreement?

No, with the exception the ESOL, Reading, and/or Gifted Endorsements.

What is teaching out-of-field in ESOL?

All teachers who instruct, for one or more periods, one or more identified Limited English Proficient students (LEP) and do not have the ESOL Endorsement or ESOL coverage on their teaching certificate, must be approved to teach out-of-field by the School Board.

Can I take a Subject Area Exam for ESOL?

Yes. You can take a Subject Area Exam for ESOL and when passed, add ESOL to your teaching certificate. However, you will need to complete two of the five required ESOL courses in order to maintain the ESOL coverage.
