This one-of-a-kind, practical "how-to" book is written to help a multitude of Florida educators - from new teachers who are seeking certification, to experienced teachers, school administrators, and teacher coaches - understand and demonstrate the new Florida Educator Accomplished Practices (FEAPs).
Â
The New Florida Educator Accomplished Practices, adopted in 2010, form the foundation for the state's teacher preparation and certification programs, as well as school district instructional personnel appraisal systems. Demonstrating the New Florida Educator Accomplished Practices: A Practical Guide for Becoming an Effective Educator is now an affordable resource that will help teachers, mentors, and evaluators identify effective practices. The book's step-by-step activities will help the classroom teacher become more confident in the ability to demonstrate the required educator competencies.

Authors and accomplished educators Lorraine D. Cross, Barbara Pullease, and Hope Waldman Targoff have organized the book into two units. The first unit addresses quality of instruction, where readers learn about effective lesson planning, classroom environment, instructional delivery, and assessment. The second unit covers continuous professional improvement, responsibility, and ethical conduct. A comprehensive, well-rounded guide, Demonstrating the New Florida Educator Accomplished Practices: A Practical Guide for Becoming an Effective Educator is essential for creating a community of competent, confident, and effective educators in the state of Florida.Â
