Georgia gets graded on how well it prepares teachers

Georgia gets a B-minus when it comes to teachers' effectiveness, says a report analyzing education policies that affect teacher quality.

The state needs to do more work to ensure teachers are prepared to teach core subjects like math and reading.

The education advocacy group the National Council on Teacher Quality released its annual State Teacher Policy Yearbook Tuesday. It includes analysis of every state law, rule and regulation that shapes the effectiveness of the teaching profession.
