Upgrading from the Temporary to the Professional Certificate
Here is how the process unfolds:
- Professional Learning: Teachers are provided with targeted professional learning opportunities to deepen their instructional skills and pedagogical knowledge.
- Mentorship: Experienced educators mentor candidates, offering insights and support as they navigate the requirements for certification upgrade.
- Instructional Resources: Access to a wealth of instructional resources aids in the refinement of teaching strategies and classroom management techniques.
- Certification Guidance: Expert advice and step-by-step guidance through the certification process, including documentation, applications, and meeting state standards.
- Community of Practice: Inclusion in a community of practice where educators can share experiences, challenges, and successes with peers undergoing the same transition.
By upgrading to the Professional Certificate, educators not only meet the state’s rigorous certification standards but also reinforce their own resolve to provide the highest quality education to their students. Miami Dade College's School of Education is proud to facilitate this advancement, reinforcing our commitment to educational excellence and teacher support.
