Inservice Credits
Participants with questions about how this PLA course will count towards specific recertification requirements should contact their district recertification office or local PLA Coordinator prior to registration.

If a participant is not currently employed in education in Florida, the participant must contact their former school district or private school agency to determine if they are able to submit inservice credits to FDOE.
