Highest Standards

From an e-mail about signing up for classes to get additional certification for Special Ed:
Eligibility
Open to all Cobb County employees who have:
  • Bachelor’s degree or higher
  • A cumulative undergraduate grade point average of 2.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale.
  • Passing scores on the PRAXIS I, unless the candidate holds a clear renewable teaching certificate or those who obtained exemption composite score on the SAT, GRE, or ACT Examinations. (SAT minimum required score is 1000; ACT minimum required score is 43; GRE minimum required score is 1030.

That's sure a tough bar to reach.

does the "Special Ed" they refer to encompass all of Special Ed, including Gifted/Exceptional Ed or do they just mean certification for the Special Needs type Special Ed. I certainly hope it's a requirement to be gifted to be able to teach gifted
