Obtaining Teacher In-Service Credits

Teachers throughout Florida have received in-service credits for continuing education requirements by taking the Florida Master Naturalist Program (FMNP).  Typically, 40 credit hours have been awarded for each FMNP module. Specific requirements for teacher in-service credits are decided by individual school districts, not the FMNP Program or the University of Florida/IFAS.  Teachers must contact their school board/district in-service staff development coordinators to receive credit for FMNP modules. Click here for a list of county coordinators.

      Consider:

• There are 3 FMNP modules (40 contact hours each) for a total of 120 contact hours
• 120 hours are needed for teacher re-certification (5 year requirement)
• FMNP course descriptions are available under New Student Information (see above)
• FMNP curriculum supplements Sunshine State Standards
• FMNP workbooks and purchased FMNP videos can be utilized in school science curriculum
• FMNP final projects can be incorporated as classroom projects and educational programs
• Other specific FMNP information (# of classes, graduates, history) can be obtained from info@masternaturalist.org
