The Lowdown on ESE Points
ESE stands for "Exceptional Student Education," and those points? Those are your golden tickets to renewing your Florida educator certification. Think of them like collecting enough seashells to win a fabulous prize (the prize being a shiny, new certificate, obvs).
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
How Many Seashells Do You Need? (Spoiler Alert: It's Not THAT Many)
Now, you might be picturing yourself combing the beach for hours, desperately searching for enough shells. But fear not, the number you need is quite manageable. Here's the deal:
- You only need to collect 20 ESE points each time you renew your certificate. That's like finding a few cool shells, not an entire sandcastle's worth.
But Wait, There's More! (Because Florida Likes to Keep Us on Our Toes)
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
While 20 points is the magic number, there are a few things to keep in mind:
- These points need to be earned during your current certification period. Don't try to hoard them from way back when like a squirrel hiding nuts for winter. ️
- There are different ways to earn those points, like workshops, courses, and online training. Just make sure they're approved by the Florida Department of Education. You wouldn't want to spend all afternoon collecting pebbles and realize they won't get you that prize.
So, You've Got Your 20 Points. Now What?
 |
High five! Now you can strut your stuff (and your newly acquired ESE knowledge) into the certification renewal process with confidence. Remember, these points show your commitment to helping students with disabilities. Pretty darn impressive, wouldn't you say?
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
