To teach a specific subject or grade level on a Provisional Certificate, you’ll need to show content knowledge in that area. You can typically do this by passing the appropriate GACE®Content Assessment or qualifying based on college coursework in the teaching field. For Elementary Education (P–5), a passing GACE® Content Assessment score is required. All required content assessments must be passed for program completion.
Most candidates will need to pass three assessments:
- GACE® Ethics for Teachers (Test 351)
- GACE® or other GaPSC-approved Content Assessment
- GACE® Literacy Assessment (Application or Fundamentals)
Visit the GACE website (scroll down to Teaching Fields) to see a list of required content and literacy assessments by certification field. Before registering for a GACE® exam, you will need to set up a MyPSC account.
No – you can begin your coursework without a teaching position. However, to receive a Provisional Certificate and begin your supervised teaching experience, you must secure a teaching position in your certification field with a Georgia public school district, private school, or GaPSC/GaDOE-approved charter school. While we provide guidance and resources to support your job search, candidates are responsible for securing their own teaching position.
iteach coursework is self-paced. You’ll complete your online Essentials courses before beginning your supervised teaching experience, then finish additional online coursework and performance assessments while teaching.
