There are many schools that are performing excellently in Georgia; 72.7 percent made adequate yearly progress in 2011, according to the Georgia Department of Education. As a whole, the state is committed to improving its schools, though, and one of the ways in which it is doing this is by ensuring that teachers are offering effective instruction. WCTV Georgia notes that the state has adopted a new practice in which teachers are evaluated, at least in part, by student test scores. As a teacher with a master's degree in education, you'll be prepared to pass these evaluations and meet special Georgia certification requirements. You'll also have the knowledge needed to assist Georgia in its goal to improve public schools.
