In 2018, the gifted endorsement program was under monitor status with the Georgia Professional Standards Commission, or GaPSC. We reviewed feedback from candidates and made revisions, leading to significant program improvement. We are in good standing with the GaPSC and share the data annually with the Advisory Council.

Support continuous improvement.

View a report submitted to GaPSC during the district's review in Spring 2025. The Gifted Endorsement Program met all standards. A picture of the data analysis is below.

Remain current on policy, regulations, and federal, state, and local law interpretations.

Data collection and reflection are strengths. I will serve as a Literacy Focused Reviewer for GaPSC where we provide feedback on how Educator Preparation Providers (EPPs) build on the knowledge and skills described in GaPSC Rule 505-3-.03 FOUNDATIONS OF READING, LITERACY, AND LANGUAGE.
