Education in Florida
Education Landscape
Florida is one of the largest state education systems in the country, serving approximately 2.9 million students across 67 county-based school districts with approximately 164,000 teachers. The Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) requires all districts to implement evaluation systems aligned to the Florida Educator Accomplished Practices (FEAPs), which define six core standards for effective teaching.
Observation Requirements
Under Florida Statute §1012.34, each instructional employee must receive a performance evaluation at least once per year. Classroom teachers newly hired by a district must be observed and evaluated at least twice in their first year. Districts select their own approved observation frameworks - the Marzano model is the most widely adopted - and all evaluation instruments must align to the FEAPs. Evaluation results factor into employment decisions, professional development planning, and compensation.

Florida requires all teacher evaluations to align with the Florida Educator Accomplished Practices (FEAPs). The Marzano model is the most widely adopted observation framework in the state, used by the majority of Florida's 67 school districts, while some districts use the Danielson Framework for Teaching or locally developed models. Observation Copilot supports both Marzano and Danielson, generating feedback that maps to FEAPs standards so your write-ups align with state requirements.
