FELE Competencies and Skills

The Competencies and Skills Required for Certification in Educational Leadership in Florida, Third Edition is a publication produced by the Florida Department of Education. It includes a comprehensive listing of the requirements for demonstrating competency and knowledge in the areas of Instructional Leadership, Operational Leadership, and School Leadership. The third edition contains the competencies and skills approved by the State Board of Education in June 2008.

The FELE competencies and skills (see PDFs below) reflect the findings and recommendations of numerous stakeholders, and also include the results of the External Validation Survey submitted to FELE instructional, operational, and school leaders across the state of Florida (e.g. principals, assistant principals, district administrators, university professors of educational leadership). The survey was distributed to all College of Education Educational Leadership programs and a random sample consisting of district administrators/specialists and school building administrators. The total number sampled was approximately 3,000. Based on feedback received from the survey, the competencies and skills were modified to reflect the current wording.
