Mission Statement
As the Florida Teacher Liaison, my task is to provide you with a constant connection to the Department of Education.

Feel free to contact me at anytime with your comments and concerns.Florida Trend’s NEXT Magazine for High School Students and Teachers
Florida Trend's NEXT is an annual magazine for Florida teens about career and educational opportunities. It is the only magazine that connects with Florida teens in their own schools – from those just starting to consider future options to those on the brink of making pivotal life choices. Because teachers play an important role in the choices of their students, Florida Trend’s NEXT magazine and Web site also provide resources for teachers to assist in classroom use of the magazine. Teachers can explore the “teacher’s lounge” and also take advantage of a free downloadable classroom activity guide. The magazine’s articles are also offered in Spanish on FloridaNEXT.com for Spanish-speaking students and teachers, which can be a useful tool for foreign language classrooms! Florida Trend's NEXT magazine is free for all students and is delivered directly to schools throughout Florida. Look for a copy at your school. To access the Web version of the magazine, just click http://www.floridanext.com.Department Seeking Nominations For State Instructional Materials Committees
