When you complete the approved T&I or HSTE certification program at GSU, following are instructions for applying for your certificate. Certification is your responsibility. Timeliness is critical.
There are three forms you must fill out: the Georgia PSC Application, the Approved Program Recommendation Form, and the Employer Assurance Form (if you are employed by a Georgia public school system). Please completely fill out all sections of the Application and Employer Assurance Form.
The Approved Program Recommendation Form must be submitted to the Office of Academic Assistance in the College of Education (3 rd floor) so that it can be signed, verifying that you have completed all requirements for certification. The computer competency requirement is embedded in the program at GSU, and that box is “checked off” for you at GSU. Also, a copy of your passing GACE 1 (or Praxis I ) results or exemption scores, and your course completion form for the Exceptional Child course should be attached to your recommendation form. GSU cannot depend on the PSC Website, and therefore requires you to submit this information. Once your form and other information is received and it is verified that you have completed all requirements for certification, the form will be signed and returned to you. This way, you may include it with your Application and Employer Assurance Form when you give everything to your system office. From there, your county personnel director will sign the Employer Assurance form and submit the packet to the PSC. You will need to include a transcript verifying your completion of coursework with your packet! You can request your transcript on line from GSU by logging in to GoSolar. If you are employed with a school system it is a good idea to turn all of your certification paperwork in to them rather than sending it straight to the PSC. First, it allows your system to verify that you have completed all of your course requirements so that any pay raise may automatically go into effect. Second, your system may pay the $20 fee for a new certificate for you. Please know that you may contact the Office of Academic Assistance if you have any questions about the application. Be sure to let them know that you are in Dr. Burn’s program so they can best assist you., or please contact Dr. Janet Burns at jburns@gsu.edu if you need further assistance.

Jessie, Thank you!
One other question: May I mail the info to the 3rd floor of the Education Building or do I need to bring the info in person.
The first couple of weeks of school I implemented the Personnel Organization Chart for my classroom. The students were very pleased with this idea, and offered more suggestions that will make the flow of the classroom run smoothly as well as organization within the lab.
Holding students accountable for their position in the classroom will prepare them for the workforce in the area of Food Services and hospitality.
