I have heard that a person has to be “certified” in order to teach in a public school. What does that mean?
Every state requires public school teachers to meet a set of educational, ethical, personal, and or other standards. These standards vary from state to state. The Educator Certification Section of the Georgia Professional Standards Commission can help you determine requirements for Georgia schools. Please visit their homepage for current information on teacher certification.
