Florida Educational Leadership Examination (FELE) 4.0 (084)

The Florida Educational Leadership Examination (FELE) consists of four subtests:

• Subtest 1: Foundational Policies & Practices of School Leadership
• Subtest 2: Leadership Practices for Student Learning
• Subtest 3: Leadership Development
• Subtest 4: Leadership Communication

Each subtest is separately timed and any unused time on one subtest cannot be used toward the other subtest. Once you complete a subtest and proceed to the next subtest, you cannot return to any previous subtest.
