Question:
I have heard that a person has to be “certified” in order
to teach in a public school. What does that mean?
- Answer:
Every state requires public school teachers to meet a set of educational,
ethical, personal, and or other standards. These standards vary from
state to state. The Educator Certification Section of the Georgia
Professional Standards Commission can help you determine requirements
for Georgia schools. Please visit their homepage for current information
on teacher certification.

There are several options currently available for individuals interested
