Program Description
|
The Georgia Master Teacher Certification Program is designed to achieve Governor
Perdue’s goal of providing statewide recognition for full-time certified public
school teachers with at least three years of teaching on a clear renewable certificate
in Georgia who consistently demonstrate excellence in the classroom through gains
in student achievement.
|
|
Minimum Criteria:
|
- Evidence of student achievement and student progress
- Full-time Georgia Public School Teacher
- Minimum of 3 years of teaching on a Clear Renewable Certificate in Georgia
|
|
Renewal for Master Teachers:
|
The validity period for Master Teachers who achieved this designation in 2006 has
been extended to six years. During the next three months, Georgia is developing
a proposal for Race to the Top funding. Because the development of this proposal
may include some changes in the Master Teacher program, it is not prudent at this
time to establish criteria for renewal. The process for renewal will be established
after the status of our Race to the Top submission is known.

|
Special note for lab situations:
|
|
Lab situations which are scripted programs or Computer Assisted Instruction will
not be eligible for this phase (2010).
|
|
NOTICE:
|
All applicants will be processed through the Ethics Division of the Georgia Professional
Standards Commission to check for a sanction or a pending action before reviewing
the application.
If you have been sanctioned by the PSC for an Ethics violation, you must submit
an explanation of the incident leading to the sanction and a rationale as to why
this should not prohibit your selection as a Master Teacher.
