36. Georgia To Set Rules For Degrees just in georgia, since all of these states were using the same criteria we wereusing.” Jim Turner, the director of the office of teacher certification in http://www.gwinnettdailyonline.com/GDP/archive/article25B462AE62BF450BBA772947A6

Printer Friendly Version Email this article to a friend Home Georgia to set rules for degrees By Jaime Sarrio jaime.sarrio@gwinnettdailypost.com ATLANTA — Georgia will revamp its policy for accepting degrees from foreign universities after discovering that at least 11 Georgia teachers purchased diplomas from a questionable online college based in Liberia. F.D. Toth, executive secretary for the Georgia Professional Standards Commission, Tuesday said the state would require teachers to use predesignated “foreign credential review agencies” to determine if college credit from offshore universities is equivalent to U.S. course work. Until about two weeks ago, the commission allowed teachers to select from any agency under the umbrella of four state-recognized credential evaluation services. But that method caused the state to overlook and accept at least 11 degrees from Saint Regis, a school that grants degrees for “life experience” and with little course work, Toth said. Now, the state will get more particular about where it accepts foreign transcripts from, and hopes to weed out degrees from lax overseas universities, he said. “We’re going to set the criteria and say ‘Here’s what we expect,’” he said. “We’ll pick two or three and not worry about all of the others.”

Printer Friendly Version Email this article to a friend Home Teachers buy degrees, hike pay By Jaime Sarrio jaime.sarrio@gwinnettdailypost.com LAWRENCEVILLE — Across the state, Georgia teachers are getting graduate and post-graduate degrees the easy way — by buying them online. A Gwinnett Daily Post investigation found several educators in Georgia are earning extra pay thanks to master’s and doctorate degrees purchased from Internet “diploma mills.” The Georgia Professional Standards Commission said it has no idea how broad the problem may be. But a spokesman confirmed at least five Gwinnett County Public Schools teachers qualified for large pay increases based on bogus degrees. A Gordon County teacher was also caught passing an invalid Internet diploma off as authentic. As a result of the phony credentials, the commission is notifying teachers by letter of its intention to recall their certification, said F.D. Toth, executive secretary for the Professional Standards Commission. In addition, the commission will have to change the way some course credits are evaluated, especially those from outside the United States, added Toth. “It is a problem that has grown in past years, especially with the increased popularity of online universities,” Toth said. “I don’t think it is widespread at this point. We’ll have to wait and see what we find out from our files.”

40. The Story Of State-Mandated Mentoring In Georgia to evaluate every new teacher for acceptance for state teacher certification. Theprogram was very high profile and gained national visibility. See georgia Dept http://www.teachermentors.com/MCenter Site/StateStories/Georgia.html

Georgia - Return to the "What's Happening in the States?" Page - Updated March 14, 1998 Georgia The Georgia Beginning Teacher program started in , which makes it one of the first new teacher programs in the United States. Originally, Georgia's approach to new teacher programming emphasized summative beginning teacher assessment that was based on a very detailed set of effective teaching competencies called the "Teacher Performance Assessment Instrument". The program's purpose was to evaluate every new teacher for acceptance for state teacher certification. The program was very high profile and gained national visibility. See Georgia Dept. of Education. (1980). "Teacher Performance Assessment Instruments". Atlanta, GA: Georgia Dept. of Education. Georgia's system was borrowed and then adapted for use in Arizona. In , however, the State of Georgia discontinued the use of its program for making certification decisions. Part of the reason for halting the program was limited support by a new set of politicians who did not know what the program accomplished and did not approve the funding it took to support the Georgia program. Georgia still did provide money in the form of competitive grants to support pilot mentoring programs. The state still required the mentoring programs to use a state assessment instrument for assessing teacher competencies.
