"Clinical education" refers to the process of providing developing professionals with instruction in classroom teaching strategies and best practices under the supervision of a skilled, experienced teacher. Clinical Educator Training (CET) is required for all school district and college/university instructional personnel who instruct, supervise or direct teacher preparation students during field experience courses or internships (Section 1004.04, Florida Statutes). Experienced teachers who are interested in becoming Clinical Educators should have at least three years of successful teaching experience as evidenced by their most recent teach evaluation.
