The most important factor in the achievement of our students is the effectiveness of the teachers and principals who serve them. The Bureau of Educator Recruitment, Development and Retention is committed to supporting and improving educator quality by providing assistance to educators, potential educators and school district staff in the areas of educator preparation, recruitment, professional development, recognition, instructional technology and performance. Within these areas, our staff implement special programs including Troops to Teachers Program, the Dale Hickam Excellent Teaching Program, The Florida Department of Education – Macy’s Teacher of the Year Program, the Florida Digital Educators Program and the William Cecil Golden Professional Development Program for School Leaders.
