The Georgia Professional Standards Commission is a state agency within Georgia's education administration landscape, established by the Georgia General Assembly on July 1, 1991 to take responsibility for the preparation, certification, and professional conduct of certified personnel in the state's public schools. It is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It operates as a mid-sized agency. The commission's mission is to cultivate a highly prepared, well-qualified, and ethical educator workforce. Its work centers on establishing standards for educator certification and monitoring professional conduct for personnel employed in Georgia's public schools. In May 2025, the commission hosted its inaugural Teacher Pipeline Summit at Georgia College & State University to address the need for K-12 teachers, an event organized by Governor Brian Kemp.
