Viva Florida 1513-2013

Five hundred years ago Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León landed on our peninsula's eastern shore and christened it "La Florida." This historic event led to an exchange between old and new worlds, centuries of conflicts and colonizing, and, ultimately, our American cultural melting pot. To help commemorate Florida's 500th anniversary, the Florida Humanities Council is sponsoring numerous programs, events, and resources. Check them out today!

Current Newsletter

As teacher liaison, my goal is to provide direct communication between educators and the Florida Department of Education. The Just for Teachers website contains information on education legislation, student incentives and statewide programs. Through surveys, regional discussion panels and state-wide roundtable discussions, teachers will have opportunities to give feedback on educational policy. The site also makes numerous resources available to help with the day-to-day challenges of teaching. The Just for Teachers newsletter, sent via e-mail and posted on the site, provides up-to-date news on the latest state-level initiatives and programs.
