Georgia Assessment for the Certification of Educators
 (GACE)

The Georgia Professional Standards Commission (PSC) has initiated the development of the Georgia Assessments for the Certification of Educators™ (GACE™), a new program to assess the knowledge and skills of individuals seeking certification as Georgia public school educators. The Georgia assessments will be fully aligned with national standards, the Georgia Performance Standards for PreKindergarten through Grade 12, and the Georgia educator preparation rules. To assist in the development and administration of the assessments, the PSC has contracted with National Evaluation Systems, Inc. (NES®). The first administration of the new assessments is scheduled for November 2006.  (GACE website)
