    This conference is sponsored by the Department of Education in partnership with the Florida Association of

    teacher educators in initial certification programs delivered through colleges of education and those in
    professional preparation programs delivered through school districts and educator preparation institutes to share
    knowledge, practice, and research related to program implementation, outcomes, and accountability in terms of
    completers’ impact on K-12 student learning.
