The local school systems, colleges and universities, the Regional Education Service Agencies (RESAs) and the Professional Standards Commission are responding to the expected 2001-2002 shortage with the introduction of the Georgia Teacher Alternative Preparation Program. The Georgia Teacher Alternative Preparation Program is a classroom based preparation option for individuals with the basic qualifications to teach in elementary, middle or secondary schools who have not completed a teacher preparation program. The program is not intended as a replacement for the preparation that a teacher receives in a regular college teacher preparation program. It is instead an additional option for individuals who hold the bachelor’s or higher degrees but who have not completed teacher education requirements for state certification. The Georgia Teacher Alternative Preparation Program Description: Phase One - An instructional phase offered as an introduction to teaching, prior to assignment as a teacher in a classroom.

PACSS UGA's Program for Alternative Certification in Secondary Science Introduction to the Program The University of Georgia Program for Alternative Certification in Secondary Science (PACSS) is designed to help those who already have a four year degree in a science or related field to obtain their clear and renewable teacher certification. Qualified candidates will be certified to teach grades 7-12 in one of the following subject areas: biology, chemistry, earth science, or physics. The majority of the courses for the program can be taken through the University of Georgia at the Gwinnett University Center. Philosophy and Objectives of the Program The Science Education Department's teacher education program emphasizes reflection on one's own teaching, learning to teach science to all of Georgia's students and creating interactive and collaborative classroom environments. While content knowledge is important in teaching secondary science, understanding of learners, curriculum, and teaching strategies are equally important. The objectives of the program are based on creating an understanding of the roles of the science teacher in the classroom and in the teaching profession. Program Requirements at a Glance Bachelor's degree in science or a closely related field with a GPA of 2.5.

Full Report (PDF) Appendix A.Survey Methodology Fast Response Survey System Sample Selection Information from the pilot study helped guide the allocation of the total sample to the two major categories of districts: districts that reported alternative schools in the CCD and those that did not report alternative schools in the CCD. Within each category, the samples were further allocated to district size strata (less than 2,500, 2,500 to 9,999, 10,000 or more) in rough proportion to the aggregate square root of the enrollment in the stratum. The sampling frame was also ordered by metropolitan status (urban, suburban, rural) and region (Northeast, Southeast, Central, West) to induce additional implicit stratification. Within each primary stratum, districts were selected systematically and with equal probabilities. The sampling frame constructed consisted of 14,619 regular public school districts during the 1998–99 school year. After the stratum sample sizes were determined, a final sample of 1,609 districts was systematically selected from the sorted file using independent random starts. The 50 states and the District of Columbia were included in the sample, while school districts in the outlying U.S. territories were excluded. Districts are of three types: unified, secondary, and elementary. Unified districts serve students across all grade levels and comprised 83 percent of the total sample (table A-1). Secondary districts comprised 2 percent, and elementary districts (i.e., serving grades no higher than grade 8) comprised 15 percent of the sample.
