Revisions to Georgia’s Plan for Title II, Part A

Developing the concept of the highly qualified teacher has brought about a number of changes in Georgia’s teacher certification rules. The current definition for the HiQ software uses basic credentialing to establish highly qualified teacher status. To clarify and strengthen the HiQ requirements, a total revision of the certification rules has resulted

As a specific example, the PSC enforced the concept of the middle grades teachers being appropriately prepared in the content which they are assigned to teach. State rules no longer permit teaching core academic content based on a generic middle grades certificate. The rule change requires the teacher to have specific preparation in the content taught and/or a passing score on the appropriate content assessment with the content areas listed on the certificate. This specific certification rule has been in effect for five years. The graph in figure 1 shows the changes resulting from that certification decision. It also illustrates that changes in certification rules take time to implement. Therefore, the impact of many changes resulting from Title II, Part A will not be realized immediately. Another certification change is in the out-of-field teaching rule. This change allows no out-of-field teaching during any part of the school day. Rule 505-2-.26 In-field Assignments states that all teachers must have assignments within their field and grade level as specified on their certificate for one hundred percent of the school day. Rule 505-2-.84 Middle Grades provides a phase-in period which will result in all teaching assignments being in-field by the beginning of 2006-2007 school year. For more information refer to
