Florida Teacher Certification
Valid, in good standing 1974 - 2004
In 2004 I was teaching at a bilingual international Costa Rican school. A current U.S. teaching certificate was not needed and at that time I had no intention of returning to the United States to teach. I allowed my certificate, which had been current for 30 years, to expire. As life plans often change, I decided to return to Volusia County to teach. I applied for a temporary certificate in the areas of Exceptional Student Education, Middle Grades Science (5-9), and Gifted Education that will allowed me to secure a teaching position.
