We are currently accepting applications. Our regular deadline is April 14, 2008. Due to the large volume of applications received and the selective nature of this program, candidates are highly encourage to apply early.

Due to the extremely competitive nature of the program and to the large number of applications received, we strongly encourage candidates to meet our first application deadline. Candidates should also plan to register for and take the GK (General Knowledge) portion of the Florida Teacher Certification Examination (FCTE) as soon as possible. While the GK exam is also offered in a computer-based format, the essay portion must be taken on a planned testing date. As a result, candidates find it easier and more cost effective to take the entire test on a scheduled testing date. Please click here for more information on the GK exam and to register.

Candidates invited to interview with Miami Teaching Fellows will be provided additional information on which SAE test –and test administration date-- is appropriate, given their academic background. Candidates will receive explicit direction regarding the SAE tests and dates with their invitation to interview and/or following the interview event itself. Depending on subject area, some tests may be available as computer-based examinations, while others require a paper-based administration. All examinations are pre-scheduled and administered at a designated test site. Please find details on dates and fees below.
