K-12 Charter
The State of Florida requires that every teacher hold a valid Florida certification in the subject that he or she is teaching. All teachers at Innovation Montessori Ocoee are fully certified.
​
However, there are additional requirements that have been implemented within the last several years. One specific requirement is that all teachers must be ESOL certified (English Speakers of Other Languages). Non-elementary and non-Language Arts teachers are required to take one course. Elementary and Language Arts teachers are required to take 6 courses. The state allows them to take the 6 courses over a 5-year period. Until recently, a teacher was considered in compliance, or in-field, as long as he or she was enrolled in the necessary course or courses to meet the additional requirements. A recent change in statutes has been made that requires teachers to be listed as "out-of-field" until all course work has been completed, even if he or she is currently enrolled in the necessary course or courses. Even though a letter is sent home each year to parents of those teachers considered out-of-field, a more recent change in statute requires schools to post those teachers on their web sites. Above is a listing of the teachers at Innovation Montessori whom the state considers out-of-field, and the areas in which they are considered out-of-field:
