Academic Webinar Series
The purpose of this training is to use available data/evidence to identify learning gaps as a result of the Spring 2020 school closures and plan strategically for instructional next steps.
In this training, the Georgia Center for Assessment will host a 2-part online professional learning webinar series. Each webinar will last 2 hours and be comprised mostly of applied activities where schools can use their existing data to identify possible learning gaps. Registration links and passwords for these sessions can be found below.

Staffing Toolkit for State Charter Schools
The SCSC partnered with TNTP, formerly known as The New Teacher Project, to support state charter schools with teacher staffing and onboarding support. TNTP developed an "electronic toolkit" for state charter schools to assist leaders in identifying, selecting, developing and retaining top talent at schools. These resources are grounded in best practices and have helped schools across the country effectively manage their teacher talent and positively impact student learning in their classrooms. The toolkit is organized by topic and contain guidance on various aspects of the hiring process- from creating a staffing plan to recruiting and selecting candidates, and teacher retention. In addition, recommended action steps are provided along with keys to successful implementation of these action steps and resources to support implementation that can be customized by school. View the virtual tour of the toolkit and learn about additional opportunities to receive support.
