Standing advisory groups meet regularly with GaPSC staff to provide input on specific aspects of the work and to inform revisions to preparation rules. Currently, two Educator Preparation Division advisory groups are active, the Rule 505-3-.01 Advisory Council, and the GaTAPP Exploratory Committee. Members of each group are listed below.

Four task forces are currently working to examine and update Educator Preparation Rules: The Educational Leadership Task Force, Instructional Technology Task Force, Literacy Coaching Endorsement Task Force, and the School Nutrition Director Task Force. Members of each task force are listed below.

GaPSC staff and Commissioners appreciate the contributions of these educators who lend their time and expertise to our policy development process.
