The Georgia Master Teacher Certification Program, which identified superior teachers as “Master Teachers” for a period of seven years, received
funding through the Race to the Top federal grant. Now that those funds are no longer available the Master Teacher program
has come to a close and announced its last class of Master Teachers in May of 2014.
On July 1, 2014, the GaPSC implemented a tiered certification structure for educators. Educators can be recognized for
their excellent teaching and leading skills through the
Advanced & Lead Professional tiers.
Current Georgia Master Teacher certificates will remain valid until their expiration dates, which are listed below. These certificates may not be renewed.
