Chipola College | Secondary Education: FEAPS

The twelve FEAP’s, approved by the Florida State Board of Education in 1996, describe the required professional competencies that successful teachers in Florida should master. Students in Chipola’s teacher education programs must demonstrate each of the FEAP’s at the preprofessional level at least three times prior to graduation.

The FEAP’s are:

1. ASSESSMENT
2. COMMUNICATION
3. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
4. CRITICAL THINKING
5. DIVERSITY
6. ETHICS

7. HUMAN DEVELOPMENT & LEARNING
8. KNOWLEDGE OF SUBJECT MATTER
9. LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS
10. PLANNING
11. ROLE OF THE TEACHER
12. TECHNOLOGY

The table below correlates the FEAP’s with the assessment tasks that must be completed in various courses in the program.

The Florida Educator Accomplished Practices (FEAP), Outcomes, and Corresponding Courses
FEAP & Corresponding Learning Outcomes The essential practices of effective teaching are:	The FEAP are presented, demonstrated and practiced in the following courses.	Task Demonstrated
1. Assessment The student collects and uses data gathered from a variety of sources. These sources will include both traditional and alternate strategies. Furthermore, the teacher can identify and match the students’ instructional plan with their cognitive, social, linguistic, cultural, emotional, and physical needs.

3. Continuous Improvement. The student realizes that she/he is in the initial stages of a life-long learning process and that self reflection is one of the key components of that process. While her/his concentration is, of necessity, inward and personal, the role of colleagues and school-based improvement activities increases as time passes. The teacher's continued professional improvement is characterized by self reflection, work with immediate colleagues and teammates, and meeting the goals of a personal professional development plan.

4. Critical Thinking The student is acquiring performance assessment techniques and strategies that measure higher order thinking skills in students and is building a repertoire of realistic projects and problem solving activities designed to assist all students in demonstrating their ability to think creatively.

5. Diversity. The student establishes a comfortable environment which accepts and fosters diversity. The teacher must demonstrate knowledge and awareness of varied cultures. The teacher creates a climate of openness, inquiry, and support by practicing strategies as acceptance, tolerance, resolution, and mediation.

8. Knowledge of Subject Matter. The student has a basic understanding of the subject field and is beginning to understand that the subject is linked to other disciplines and can be applied to real world integrated settings. The teacher's repertoire of teaching skills includes a variety of means to assist student acquisition of new knowledge and skills using that knowledge	MAE 3320 – Teaching Methods in Middle School Science MAE 4330 – Teaching Methods in Secondary School Math MAE 4943 Seminar In Mathematics MAE 4945 – Student Teaching SCE 3320 Teaching Methods in Middle School Science SCE 4330 Teaching Methods in Secondary School Science SCE 4943 Seminar In Science SCE 4945 Student Teaching in Science EDM 3001 Introduction to Middle School	Task CC8A Task CC8C Task CC10A Task CC8B Task 8.2.2 Task 8.3.1 Task CC3A
9. Learning Environments. The student understands the importance of setting up effective learning environments and has techniques and strategies to use to do so, including some that provide opportunities for student input into the processes. The teacher understands that she/he will need a variety of techniques and is working to increase her/his knowledge and skills.
