Instructions:

You are either a student enrolled in the B.S. in Mathematical Sciences in the Secondary Education (grades 6- 12) Certification track OR seeking to return for post-baccalaureate (i.e. you already have your B.S. in a Mathematics area) certification that will allow you to teach in grades 6-12 in Georgia. Presently the AASU Department of Mathematics does not participate in the MAT (a master’s level program) that allows post-baccalaureate students to earn initial certification to teach in Georgia grades 6-12. Please consult the AASU catalog regarding the Masters in Curriculum and Instruction if you already hold a teaching certificate and wish to do advanced work. Due to teacher shortages in this area those already possessing a B.S. in the field of Mathematics might be able to secure a non-renewable (provisional) license to teach while completing the needed post-baccalaureate program that will earn them certification (consult Professional Standards Commission (PSC), in Atlanta (1-800-736-4322 or 1-800-869-7775) or visit the website at or .) Both groups must eventually fill out all the paperwork contained herein. The latter group will also need to request transcript evaluations prior to admittance at AASU and fill out that associated paperwork. Students must be admitted as a candidate (fill out the first portion of the paperwork) and at a later date into their program of study (about 1 semester after attending AASU) and then do paperwork for Internship II (student teaching). When admitted to candidacy the student will be awarded a CoE card that comes from Kathy Driggers (the admissions officer in the College of Education). There are 2 certification exams (GACE basic I and GACE skills II). It is our understanding that if a student has either: SAT composite score of verbal and math must equal 1000 or more OR ACT composite score of English and math must equal 43 or more that this suffices for GACE basic I.

Post Baccalaureate

Teacher Certification Program for teaching in Georgia schools grades 6-12

Transcript Evaluation for Postbacs

January 2009

Thank you for your interest in the Post Baccalaureate Teacher Certification program. This program is designed for individuals who hold a baccalaureate or higher degree from an accredited college or university in the field of Mathematics or an allied field but who are not licensed to teach. The successful completion of all program requirements will result in a clear, renewable certificate. A non-renewable (NR) teaching certificate is a separate process and may be made through the Professional Standards Commission (PSC), in Atlanta (1-800-736-4322 or 1-800-869-7775) or visit the website at or . Some applicants elect to work in the Georgia schools classroom concurrently while earning their teacher certification from AASU. By having a Transcript Evaluation you are allowing personnel at AASU to examine your transcripts of completed coursework and to prepare a program of study (list of requirements) which must be completed in order to be recommended for a clear, renewable teaching certificate. Official transcripts must be provided as you complete your application to the School of Graduate Studies () . If official transcripts have been sent to the University Admissions Office or to the Graduate Office, students must request that a photocopy of the original be sent over to Graduate Studies and then to the Department of Mathematics. When official copies are received and the program of study is developed it is valid for three years from the date of preparation. This process is usually finalized with a face-to-face meeting with a faculty member in Mathematics. Any requirements implemented by the Professional Standards Commission (PSC) during the completion of the program of study must also be met before a recommendation for a clear, renewable certificate will be made.

Minimum Admission Criteria

Admission criteria for the graduate post baccalaureate program include:

(1) an earned baccalaureate degree or advanced degree from a regionally-accredited institution of higher education in a Mathematics field;

(2) cumulative GPA of 2.50 on a 4.0 scale for all college coursework attempted thus far.

Once admitted, all students must establish and maintain a 3.0 GPA for all post baccalaureate graduate level course work which applies to their teaching license.

Admission to Candidacy

Admission to Candidacy must be completed by the end of your first semester of enrollment. Applications for Admission to Candidacy are available from the Department of Mathematics office (see paperwork above). Please be sure to obtain a list of those requirements as early as possible. Meet with your advisor 2-3 weeks prior to the deadline to turn in your application. Admission requirements are outlined in the AASU catalog.

_ Passing GACE Basic Skills Assessment is a requirement for Admission to Candidacy. Students earning qualifying scores on the SAT, GRE, or ACT may be exempt from this requirement. SAT – minimum require score – 1000 with no minimum Verbal score or Math score required. The composite score is obtained by adding the Verbal and Math scores - both sections must be taken. ACT – minimum required score – 43 with no English score or Math score required. The composite score is obtained by adding the English and Math scores – both sections must be taken. GRE – minimum required score – 1030 with no minimum Verbal Score or Quantitative score required. The composite score is obtained by adding the Verbal and Quantitative scores – both sections must be taken. You can get your scores from the ETS website.

After satisfactory completion of the admission requirements, you are ready to complete and submit your Application for Admission to Candidacy.

Admission to AASU

Courses taken to satisfy the graduate post baccalaureate program requirements are available on the main campus at Armstrong Atlantic State University. Some classes may also be offered at the Liberty Center, the Brunswick Center, and Savannah State University. Admission to AASU is required before enrollment in the program. The Graduate Studies Admissions Office is located in Victor Hall on the AASU campus.

Processing Time

Please allow a minimum of five weeks for the evaluation process to occur after all the required documents have been submitted. Completed programs of study will be emailed to the applicant along with information about contacting your advisor to finalize the program and sign documents and to discuss your schedule for the upcoming semester.

Armstrong Atlantic State University requires that all teacher education graduates and certification candidates: (1) submit proof of completion of the GACE Content Assessment or PRAXIS II (if taken before March 5, 2007) as a graduation requirement. The Georgia Professional Standards Commission (PSC) requires that all teacher candidates have passed the GACE Content Assessment or PRAXIS II (if taken prior to March 5, 2007) to be recommended for certification; the Georgia PSC also requires proof of technology competency to be recommended for certification and (2) that prospective AASU graduates submit to the Registrar a completed Application for Graduation at least two semesters before graduation.

Interns requiring placement will not be permitted to teach in a school in which their children are enrolled or immediate family members (i.e. spouse, parent, sibling) are employed.

I certify that I am aware of these responsibilities and requirements, and I realize that failure to file the necessary paperwork may result in a delay in acceptance to Internship II/Graduate Internship, graduation or certification. Passing scores for all sections of the GACE Basic Skills Assessment or a composite score of at least 526 on PRAXIS I (if taken prior to March 5, 2007) must be filed with the appropriate department before I will be accepted into Internship II/Graduate Internship. I also certify that I have read and do understand the section concerning Internship II/Graduate Internship in the current Armstrong Atlantic State University Catalog and believe that I have satisfied all requirements.

I understand that I may not be admitted to Internship II/Graduate Internship until proof of the following is documented in the appropriate department.
