Q: what do you think of university of georgia, Atlanta? nightlife,level of education?
i'm going for my MBA and i'm comparing university of georgia and georgia state university.. which one has the best area you think?

A: I am a UGA student and I love it. I love Athens....it is perfect. UGA definitely has one of the best/most prestigious business schools, and they offer their graduates lots of opportunities to get the name out there. GA State though is in Atlanta and closer to all the big corporations. It definitely is not your traditional college campus though. I guess it all depends on what you are looking to get out of it

Q: What kind of education must you go through to obtain a teachers degree in Georgia?
Thanks

A: I was just looking into that, myself! There are actually several ways to go about getting certified to teach in Georgia. A good website to start with: www.teachgeorgia.org Also check out: www.gapsc.com and www.gace.nesince.com There is a lot of information, and a lot depends on your personal situation and credentials. But there are opportunities to get certified and start teaching prior to coursework, if you get a job in a school system that works with the TAPP program. All of that information can be found on the sites above. Good luck!

Q: Has anyone taken the georgia (gace) teacher certification elementary education test 01 and 02?
I have been taking this test for a long time and have not been successful on a passing score. Any study guides out. I have been out of school for 20 years. Any suggestions on what I can do to prepare for the test.

A: Some information is below.

Q: How is the educational system in Georgia I need to know im thinking about moving but my kid education come 1st


A: As a whole it is not too good because Georgia is one of the lowest ranking states, but with that said it all depends on where you move and what school your child goes to. Georgia has some really good schools, and some that are not doing so well. The HOPE Scholarship is really good if you child maintains a B or higher average in a Georgia high school and decides to go to college in Georgia. Being that I graduated from a Georgia high school, I feel that it is pretty much up your child to make the best of what's given to them. The education system can only do so much the rest is up to the child.

Q: paid internship in atlanta georgia based on christian education to the youth?


A: What is the question? You have made a statement and put a question mark after it. Most questions have a who, what, when, where or how associated with it. Just making a statement puncuated with a question mark, does not make it a question? --- Or does it?

Q: education in georgia during 1763?


A: During the colonial period, education was in the hands of private schoolmasters. Georgia's first constitution called for the establishment of a school in each county. Although the state constitution has compelled public support of education since 1777 and the state's first government-supported high school opened in Augusta in 1783, Georgia did little to provide for public education in the state. A "poor school fund" was established in 1822, but its benefits proved limited. Several towns and cities provided free schooling to local children. Only in 1858, under Georgia governor Joseph E. Brown, was there an effort to establish a comprehensive system for the state's white children.

Q: how is public education funded in Georgia?


A: Through tax levy dollars.

Q: Are there any community service requirements in order to graduate from the Georgia public school system?
I'm from out of state and I'm curious if the Georgia public school system requires a certain amount of community service in order to graduate from high school. Unfortunately, the Georgia Department of Education website isn't functioning today so I have no way to find any relevant information. Any insight you can offer would be incredibly helpful. Thanks.

A: I am pretty sure that there is no requirements for community service. I'm in GA and I've never heard of it. I checked the website, it's up but the page for 'graduation requirements' is down for some reason. Check this page every once in a while to see when it's up, click under 'graduation' on 'state requirements' http://www.doe.k12.ga.us/askdoe.aspx

Q: education in georgia in 1600-1776?


A: huh?

Q: What are the exact steps I could take to get Concord University Law School approved by the Georgia Bar?
Should I write letters giving reasons why Concord University Law School should be admitted to the Georgia Bar, or would a petition by citizens be effective? I'm a 1L student with a Doctorate in Curriculum and Education. I have already written the Georgia Senate asking to be able to contribute to the study of new methodologies of legal education.

A: You can not do this alone. The correct procedure is that the professors of Concord University along with the Administrators and staff must petition the the Georgia Bar to be granted approval. They must first inquire on the standards and procedures, that Concord must meet in order to be granted approval. Then they must write a formal document that gives several years of proof of how they have been and will continue to meet those standards and procedures. This could be a very long and costly process; however, Concord would benefit by the approval, because they would certainly benefit from being able to recruit future lawyers from GA. What you could do, is steer your letters to the professors and the administration of Concord. Ask them to seek approval by the GA. Bar.

Q: I have a Master's degree (not in education), how do I become a certified teacher in Georgia?


A: I have a Bachelor's in Biology and working on a master's. I teach high school in Ga and started there provisionally. It would be helpful to go ahead and take the GACE tests (we use these now instead of Praxis) in whatever your field is. I am assuming your Master's is in a field that you could teach in. Then, you will EASILY find a job, and you will apply for a non-renewable certification through your school. There is no difference in payscale between this and a regular certification. From there, you have 5 years to take the required certification classes and get your clear renewable certification. The three top paying counties in the Southeast for educators are Fulton, Gwinnett, and Dekalb (I think). I teach in North Fulton (Alpharetta) and started at 40,000 with a bachelor's in biology and NO student teaching experience or anything. Good luck, and feel free to email me

Q: I want to move to Georgia or the Carolinas who's got better education and peaceful towns?
I just want somewhere that's low crime and has a strong educational program

A: Georgia is a wonderful place to live. I live in south Georgia and LOVE it. As far as education... Are you asking for your kids? If so, then go Carolinas. Sadly, Georgia's education is lacking (especially the special education).

Q: I'm a senior in high school and want to major in secondary History education. is that job hard to find in GA?
i am a senior in high school. I plan on attending the University of West Georgia to major History Education (Secondary). Is is hard to find a history teaching job in Georgia? (I live in a very fast growing suburb outside of Atlanta). thanks!

A: I can't give you any statistics, but chances are, you will have a good job outlook. There is a national shortage of teachers.
