FYRE (New Educators)

LCEA FYRE is our local committee of the state-wide Florida's Young Remarkable Educators! Young activists, new educators, and emerging leaders advocating for our teachers and students! FYRE is a great way to get involved and meet likeminded professionals.

LCEA Mentoring Program

Our goal is to create a network of support for Early Career Educators or anyone that would like support. If you are a veteran educator, but just new to this district, we are here to support you. Anytime an educator makes a change, we are here to help.
