The Florida League of Christian Schools is comprised of schools of distinction. In an effort to maintain schools of excellence, FLOCS provides ample opportunities for administrators and teachers to hone their natural teaching talents. With a focus on Florida and national frameworks, FLOCS endeavors to create educational environments which reflect best practices, research-based solutions, and lab-tested strategies. All FLOCS educational programs offer Continuing Education Credits, state-mandated Hours of Observation, and can be used for license renewal.

Professional Educator's Competencies (PEC)

The Florida League of Christian Schools offers PEC training which is a training for meeting the state's beginning teacher program (new teachers from college or out of state) to acquire teacher certification with the Department of Education.  PEC deals specifically with the 12 competencies required prior to professional teacher certification. For Christian schools hiring teachers who would like to become licensed by the state of Florida, this program is required.

Master Inservice Program (MIS)

The FLOCS Master In-service Program (MIS) outlines our in-service program and the steps to meet teacher certification and renewal.  We have referred to it as the Professional Orientation Program (POP).

Clinical Educator Training (CET)

The Clinical Educator Training is provided for administrators and teachers who work together observing, coaching, and mentoring new teachers in these competencies.  There is no time frame for observations or practice unless they want in-service credit or CEUs for the training. FLOCS provides observations during the training.  Administrators and teachers are entitled to additional in-service hours if they assist in the observation and coaching of a new teacher.   This program is updated periodically to ensure state compliance.
