The program is recognized by the National Association for the Education of Young Children and is designed to support in-service teachers during their years of induction and to assist them in increasing their level of certification from a T-4 to T-5 while obtaining one of the optional credentials to move from the professional level certificate to the advanced professional. Courses are offered in a partially online format with classes meeting in Macon (at Central Georgia Technical College's Macon Campus Building I). The cohort begins each May and provides the best of both worlds: the flexibility of online learning combined with in-person class meetings that allow for collaborative learning and networking opportunities with colleagues across the state.
