Many counties ask that the teacher provide their certificate number on the evaluation letter.\u00a0We suspect that this is so they can check to see if the teacher that performed the evaluation is currently qualified to do so.<\/p>\n<p>In the state of FL it is possible for parents to\u00a0also check online to verify that a teacher&#8217;s certificate is current. You can search by the teacher&#8217;s name, or by their Florida DOE number.
