You have decided to make a career in the field of education but discover that Florida require the FTCE or the FELE before you can continue. What exactly are the FTCE and the FELE?

What is the FTCE Series of Tests?

The FTCE (Florida Teacher Certification Examinations) is a series of three tests used to determine whether a prospective teaching candidate possesses the knowledge and skills necessary to perform as an entry-level educator in the Florida Public Schools. The FTCE assesses general and specific content as well as pedagogy to determine the granting of a teaching certificate.

FTCE General Knowledge Test (GKT)

The first test in the series, The General Knowledge Test (GKT), is sometimes taken before beginning major coursework. It consists of four subtests (English Language Skills, Reading, Math, and an essay) that can be taken all together or in any combination during one session. Except for the essay, the subtests consist of computer-based multiple-choice questions. Time allotments range from 40 minutes for the English Language Skills subtest to 1 hour and 40 minutes for the Math subtest. There is a calculator provided along with a math reference sheet. The essay portion offers a choice of two topics from which one is selected to be completed during the given 50 minutes. The essays are scored holistically by two independent evaluators and their scores are combined for the total score. The second part of the FTCE is the Professional Education Test (PEd). This is a computer-based test containing approximately 120 multiple-choice questions dealing with knowledge and application of pedagogy and professional practices. This subtest is a 2 ½ hour exam for which a pass/non-pass is determined.

FTCE Subject Area Examinations (SAEs)

The final piece of the FTCE is the Subject Area Examinations (SAEs) which cover the content area and or level in which the teaching candidate seeks to become certified. There are 39 different SAEs. Most subtests are computer-based multiple-choice assessments. However, some do include essays or performance tasks. The Elementary Education SAE is an exception. It consists of four subtests (Language Arts and Reading, Social Science, Science, and Math) for a total of 220 multiple-choice questions. A candidate must pass all four subtests to fulfill this requirement for certification. Four- and one-half hours is given for the first session and it includes all four areas. The option to retest in the area(s) in which the candidate received a non-pass is available without taking all four areas.

FELE Florida Educator Leadership Examination

The FELE (Florida Educator Leadership Examination) is a three-part assessment required of all candidates who are pursuing certification in Educational Leadership. Successful performance on the FELE ensures that potential educational leaders demonstrate a mastery of the competencies and skills set forth in the Florida Principal Leadership Standards.

The 13 domains of the core curriculum in Educational Leadership are divided to make up the three subtests of the FELE. Subtest 1 includes those standards related to Leadership for Student Learning, Subtest 2 consists of standards dealing with Organizational Development, and Subtest 3 is made of standards related to Systems Leadership Success. Two hours are allotted for both Subtests 1 and 2 and both contain approximately 70 multiple choice questions. Subtest 3 includes both multiple choice (1 ½ hours) and a written performance assessment (1 hour). The written component is used to determine written communication and data analysis skills and is scored holistically by qualified professionals within the educational leadership field.
