The Office of Teacher and Staff Quality provides Title II-A guidance to non-highly qualified teachers, paraprofessionals, and their principals. Non-highly teachers and paraprofessionals are

placed on remediation and must complete GACE testing prior to their certification end dates in order to become highly qualified. Non-highly qualified teachers and paraprofessionals who

do not hold Georgia certifications are given three years to successfully complete GACE testing in order to become highly qualified. Each year, instructions are shared with principals,

teachers, and paraprofessionals for completing Remediation Plans. Principals are expected to discuss remediation plans with teachers and paraprofessionals.

List efforts to recruit highly qualified teachers to your school.

We will work closely with our counselor, school social worker, and our central office liaison to ensure that the student’s needs are met for any students identified.
