Out-of-Field Teachers
All Educators in Florida are monitored to ensure they meet certification and training requirements as mandated by law. Florida Statute 1012.42 recognizes that teachers at times must be assigned duties in a class outside the field in which the teacher is certified and requires that parents are notified when their students are assigned to an out-of-field teacher. The Department of Education acknowledges that some subjects are difficult to fill and that there are shortages of teachers in certain fields. Employing out-of-field teachers allows schools to meet the curricular needs of all our students.
An out-of-field teacher is a teacher that is qualified to teach, but holds certification in a different area than they are teaching
The lists below are the teachers who are currently instructing students that meet the criteria for parental notification under this law. All of the teachers included on these lists are working towards completing the requirements to become certified in the appropriate area.
For further information on teaching out-of-field, see the Florida State Board of Education Regulation, Rule 6A-1.0503.
