Assessments indicate that candidates meet professional, state, and institutional standards.
The college takes a strong stand in favor of its candidates' thorough grounding in content knowledge. Admission to the University of Georgia is competitive and selective. All candidates must pass Praxis II, Subject Assessments, before certification is granted. As detailed below, all programs give candidates multiple opportunities to demonstrate their content knowledge in teaching situations. Not satisfied with rough approximations of content knowledge and classroom expectations, however, the college began several years ago to work with its colleagues in the arts and sciences to align content knowledge more precisely with the standards recently promulgated by national subject-area professional organizations, as described in Sections 1 and 2.
