College of Education Final Internship Handbook
The College of Education Final Internship Handbook outlines college-wide guidelines and policies pertinent to all programs and internship stakeholders. Each program will also provide an internship guide, handbook, or syllabus that will outline specific program expectations, activities, and policies for your internship experience. ALL interns are required to read the College of Education Final Internship Handbook.
Florida Teacher Certification Examination (FTCE) Requirements
Interns must pass both FTCE subject and professional area tests prior to completing their final internship and before graduation. A copy of your passing FTCE subject and professional area tests scores must be received by your Academic Advisor in Student Academic Services by 5:00 p.m. on the Friday prior to commencement.
Any intern who does not submit passing FTCE Professional and Subject Area Exam scores to their Academic Advisor in Student Academic Services Office, EDU 106, prior to commencement will not be cleared to graduate. It takes several weeks to receive your official FTCE test scores. Please make sure to register early so that you have enough time to receive your passing FTCE scores by the indicated deadline.

The final summative evaluation report will be submitted through Chalk and Wire:
Cooperating/Collaborating/Professional Practice Partner - Tuition Waiver for Supervision Guidelines and Procedures
In recognition for dedicated work with a 欧美三级片 Final Intern, host teachers are eligible to receive a tuition waiver for six (6) credit hours of tuition credit at any Florida state university in one semester. To obtain a tuition waiver, visit the forms and guidelines page and download the Intern Certificate of Participation Guidelines and Procedures for Pre-Service Collaborating Teachers and the Certificate of Participation Requisition form.
