Frequently Asked Questions
You may apply at any time. iteach offers continuous admissions and enrollment, and our self-paced coursework means you don’t have to wait for a new semester to start your first class!
No. You can be admitted to the iteach Georgia GaTAPP Program with a bachelor’s degree or higher in any subject. Note: If you completed a degree in education that included student teaching, or completed another educator preparation program, you are not eligible for admission.
Career & Technical Specialization Fields and Healthcare Science require an associate’s
degree (or higher) in a related field.
No, iteach does not participate in federal or state financial aid programs.
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.
