Positions such as Teacher Aide, Career and Technical Education (CTE) Teacher, Adult Education Teacher, and Special Education Teacher are eligible for said bonus.
FDC certified teachers receive a competitive starting salary of $51,500, a one-time $1,000 hiring bonus, and full state benefits, including retirement, paid training, and year-round employment. Teachers without a Florida professional certification can be hired on a contingent basis while they work toward certification, with access to the state’s employee tuition waiver for further education.
“I am so grateful to have a Governor and leadership in Florida who are so dedicated to the educators within our system,” said Florida Department of Corrections Director of Programs and Re-Entry Amy Frizzell. “There’s never been a better time to start your teaching career at FDC. Whether certified or not, you can work at one of our institutions across the state and gain unparalleled training and experience.”
