In July 2009 the State Board of Education amended Rule 6A-4.00821 (Word), Florida Administrative Code (FAC), to include an increase in registration fees for the Florida Educational Leadership Examination (FELE). This rule was effective September 6, 2009. For more information, refer to the FELE registration fees and payment information Web page.
The Department is currently working with the FTCE/FELE contractor, Evaluation Systems group of Pearson, to identify project costs that can be reduced and ways to ultimately reduce examinee testing fees. Thank you for your patience as we continue to research the fee reduction process and strive to provide a high quality testing program.
About the FELE
Examination Information
Candidates seeking certification in Educational Leadership in the state of Florida are required by Florida State Board of Education Rule 6A-4.00821, FAC, to take this examination.
The examination is aligned with the 10 Principal Leadership Standards (Rule 6A-4.00821, FAC). The 10 areas are divided into three subtests:
- Subtest 1 - Instructional Leadership: Instructional Leadership; Managing the Learning Environment; Learning, Accountability, and Assessment
- Subtest 2 - Operational Leadership: Technology; Human Resource Development; Ethical Leadership; Decision-Making Strategies
- Subtest 3 - School Leadership: Community and Stakeholder Partnerships; Diversity; Vision
Each subtest consists of multiple-choice questions. Subtest 3 also contains a written performance assessment (WPA), which is designed to determine proficiency in written communication and data analysis. The WPA is scored holistically by Florida principals, assistant principals, and William Cecil Golden Professional Partners.
FELE Examinees Prior to January 1, 2009
In June 2008, the State Board of Education approved the new FELE materials (i.e., competencies and skills, written performance assessment, test structure). As a result, the new FELE was officially implemented beginning January 1, 2009.
Examinees who took the FELE prior to January 1, 2009, must have taken and passed all three subtests of the old FELE in order to use their scores for certification purposes.
If an examinee took all three subtests of the old FELE prior to January 1, 2009, but did not pass one or more of the subtests, then the examinee must take all three subtests of the new FELE in order to use their scores for certification purposes. The reason examinees must take the entire examination, despite have passed one or two subtests of the old FELE, is that there is not a way to equate the old FELE and the new FELE.

New FELE Examination
Administrations of the new FELE began in January 2009. As of August 1, 2009, the new FELE is available via computer-based testing (CBT).
