After you have your new teaching position, your next step is teacher orientation.

  

How Do I Receive Credit for my Prior Experience?

New hires employed by Duval County Public Schools are eligible to receive credit on the Teacher Salary Schedule for teaching experience and related work experience. The experience must be verified and approved prior to receiving credit. It is the responsibility of the new employee to have the experience verified. Credit may be given provided the employee was under contract, receiving benefits, worked the full academic/calendar year or at least one day more than half the year (99 days) and worked full-time (37+ hours/week) and held a valid teaching certificate.

In order to receive credit, the appropriate verification form must be received and approved by the District. The employer verification form will be given to you at the time you receive your New Hire Paperwork or you may request one from the district Human Resource Office at 1701 Prudential Dr. Note: You may send the appropriate employer verification form to your previous employer(s) prior to being processed.

Teaching (Instructional) Experience Credit
Teaching experience credit may be given if your teaching experience was completed at one or more of the following:

  • Public school

  • Private school that is accredited by a recognized agency

  • Pre-school

  • Teaching experience that was out of the country

  • Full-time teaching experience at a college or university
    (Adjunct professors are not eligible.)

It is the responsibility of the new employee to have the experience verified. Your former employer(s) must complete the Verification of Professional Experience form and submit it to Human Resource Employment Services at 1701 Prudential Dr Jacksonville, FL 32207.  Faxes are not accepted.

After you are hired and cleared, The Employment Services office will review your verification form(s). If approved, your salary will be adjusted; you will receive retroactive pay.
