How to obtain the GA Professional Standards Commission "Reading Endorsement"

Teachers who have completed Reading Recovery teacher or teacher leader training OR who have completed Literacy Collaborative Coordinator training now qualify for the Georgia Professional Standards Committee (GAPSC) "Reading Endorsement."

George Simpson Award information & application

George Simpson was chancellor of the university system of Georgia from 1965 to 1979. He was, and is, a champion for children’s literacy and a strong advocate for Reading Recovery. The Tarver Family Foundation bestowed a gift honoring Dr. Simpson to the Georgia State University Reading Recovery Program in May 2000.

It is Dr. Simpson’s desire that these funds be used to support Reading Recovery teachers and teacher leaders in their ongoing professional development by supporting travel costs to a regional or national Reading Recovery conference.
