Georgia is one of ten states considering a federal bill aimed at addressing the state’s teaching shortage. It’s called the Interstate Teacher Mobility Compact. It was created in part by the Department of Defense, which was looking to help military families. It would validate teaching licenses across state lines, so teachers wouldn’t have to get a new license if they moved states. The bill would cut costs for required tests, classes, and relicensing fees. Apart from Georgia, Colorado, Hawaii, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Washington are considering the move. All ten states would have to enter the agreement for it to go into effect.
