Educating our children continues to be Georgia’s most important undertaking. Title 20, Education, of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A.), outlines the legal guidelines which govern the state education program. Title 20 creates the Professional Standards Commission (PSC) and assigns it responsibility for providing a regulatory system for "certifying and classifying" professional employees in public schools. Title 20 also requires the professional employees of all Georgia public elementary and secondary schools to hold state certification. Certification regulations and procedures are established to evaluate the credentials of prospective teachers as well as other professional employees in the schools, to ensure they meet specified preparation standards and requirements. State certification provides a standardized base-level of professional knowledge and skills for the educators working in public schools. Like many other states, Georgia has adopted a combination of individualized requirements and some commonly used standards developed by the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC).

Each license has a specific set of rules that must be completed before a license is granted. These rules include: Having a bachelors degree with a GPA of 2.5 or higher Having certain course work in the teaching field of interest (e.g. MATH grade 7-12 license requires certain math classes) Having courses in the profession of teaching (education courses) www.ets.org
