Attend town hall meeting on changes to GaPSC standards on March 30

• Date: Thursday, March 30
• Time: 10-11:30 a.m.
• Location: Aderhold Hall Room 206; Zoom

Faculty are invited to join a conversation about changes to the Georgia Professional Standards Commission’s Educator Preparation Program Standards. Proposed standards are slated for implementation in fall 2023.

One key change to the current standards is the replacement of a widely-accepted framework for what all teachers across all content and grade levels should know and be able to do to be effective in today’s learning contexts (InTASC Standards) with a Georgia-specific framework called the Teacher Assessment on Performance Standards (TAPS). A second significant change is replacement of language about diversity, equity, and inclusion with language about working effectively with all students and their families.

Faculty are encouraged to attend so that the College can best represent the perspectives of our faculty on these proposed changes. Participants are encouraged to attend in person. A Zoom link is provided for those who cannot attend in person.
