The State of Georgia has been experiencing a critical shortage of secondary teachers in the fields of science, mathematics, and foreign language. It is predicted that this shortage of fully trained science, mathematics, and foreign language teachers will continue into the foreseeable future. In order to attract additional individuals into these teaching fields, the Georgia State Board of Education has provided an alternative route to certification for critical teaching fields. This document describes these options, including: (1) the current state certification options; (2) the alternative certification route; (3) the internship program; (4) an introduction to course guides for curriculum and methods; (5) managing the classroom (which deals with organizing time, space, and materials, as well as communicating with students); (6) organizing the curriculum; (7) delivering instruction; (8) evaluating students' knowledge and skills; and (9) human growth and development.
