Florida Law requres each school to notify parents of all the students in a class that is being served by a teacher who is assigned teaching duties dealing with subject matter that is outside the field in which the teacher is certified. If you see a notation by your child’s teacher’s name that he/she is teaching out-of-field, be assured that Florida law requires him/her to be working toward in-field certification and the district monitors progress toward compliance. Teachers marked out-of-field in ESOL are already certified in the subject being taught, but are working toward a special endorsement (English to Speakers of Other Languages) that is required to teacher limited English Proficient students.
