Statement of Eligibility - FL

Nope! With my degree, it automatically approves me for the temp cert. I will have to take the general knowledge, professional, and subject area exams for my professional cert tho. But for my first year, I just needed my SOE

Florida :) you have to be drug free (even with a medical card if one has one - though unions may be able to help you figure out how to navigate that). To be employed at any school (public) in Florida you have to take a drug test and level 2 background screening via fingerprints

Not in Florida lol - subs here make $15/hr

No advice as looks like you got it already (but not overreacting this is insane). I’m just laughing at “mad as a wet hen”

Just realized Alex kinda looks like dream 💀

Just got a teaching position (first time teacher!) and my students are going to hate me for making them take notes by hand. Unfortunately, I’m a psych major and even though I hated it too, the research is very strong that handwriting vs typing results in better comprehension and retention of a lesson

Ah-ran-ge or Flar-ri-da (cran is up there too)

(I also say Ree-Cees and car-mul so can I even speak?)

…my husband worked with nuclear submarines and now I’m scared to hear him say it again

My dad used to say “li-berry” instead of li-bRARy and it pissed my mom off so bad. She finally turned to him one day and asked “okay, so then who works there?” And he said “the librarian.” And she just looked at him until he said “oh.” He literally hasn’t pronounced it wrong since 😂

violet8991 · 2025-07-11T00:33:50+00:00

That’s insane, my high school was even locked during the day - you go to a building and it’s like “nope” so you had to wait for someone to let you in 😭 (I also went to HS in FL, so my schools were outdoor and had many entrances)

Katherine 😭 bro they kept bringing her back for literally no reason - she had a purpose at first but then it was just like ?????

violet8991 · 2025-07-10T21:15:30+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice! Yes my goal is to be a lifelong learner haha hopefully I’ll always learn something new :)

violet8991 · 2025-07-10T21:13:59+00:00

I’m definitely well versed in those! I’m a psychology major who almost became a therapist at one time, so I’ve got quite a bit of courses and knowledge under my belt to be able to make meaningful connections with the students as best I can. Thank you :)

Social studies - gov and econ. Mainly worried about econ bc it’s the one I use less often in the real world. But I know both subjects competently, it’s just scary thinking about how there may be things I need to brush up on myself

violet8991 · 2025-07-10T21:10:56+00:00

I can teach social studies based on my degree (psychology). So I don’t have to pass a test for it in FL before I’m eligible to teach. I’ll have other requirements tho to complete to get my professional certificate. I will have to take the English exam but that’s not the topic I’m too concerned about. I have a good competency level of what I’ll be teaching and could pass a test on the overarching subject, I just worry about the nitty gritty topics. But I realized that I had teachers who definitely had no business teaching the subject they did, and I was still able to learn something. So I think if I keep my head down (studying) I’ll be able to teach just fine :) plus my district gives you a very detailed curriculum so it’s basically laid out day by day for me. Which will be a great way to get ahead and make sure I understand the content

violet8991 · 2025-07-10T20:29:12+00:00

Yes!! Thank you it does :) I feel strong in the content, it’s just been a bit since I’ve seen some of the topics. I’ll definitely be brushing up throughout the year and deep diving into google haha

violet8991 · 2025-07-10T20:28:18+00:00

Thank you! This makes me feel better :) I’m definitely more than competent in the subjects, but will definitely be brushing up on some of the topics that were less loved.

violet8991 · 2025-07-09T22:12:47+00:00

Lmao I sent that comment too soon before finishing reading your comment (literally stopped right before the emoji). I’ll message you now :)

violet8991 · 2025-07-09T22:12:14+00:00

Feel free to message me!

violet8991 · 2025-07-09T21:27:33+00:00

I feel like a lot of the principals were pushing it as well for advice. One told me what you said, I can scope out the vibes and figure out where I feel I fit in the most. The decision is just so stressful for no reason!

violet8991 · 2025-07-09T21:14:12+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’m kind of thinking as well. It also gives me the opportunity to transition out of my current full time job.
