Georgia Performance Standards (GPS)
Online Training Modules - Phase One & Two
Desire2Learn (D2L)

To get started using the online GPS modules in your school/district:

Step 1.    Schools/districts should determine who will facilitate the online GPS modules within the school/district.

Step 2.    Schools/districts should develop a plan, with the assistance from their regional ETTC, for rolling out GPS training that includes both face-to-face and online components.

Step 4.    Schools/districts should e-mail Jerrie Cheek at jcheek@kennesaw.edu to request information on how to get their teachers registered for the online GPS modules.

Step 5.    Once teachers are enrolled into the online modules, an e-mail notification will be sent to the facilitator. The e-mail will include a username and password for the facilitator as well as for the teachers.

Step 6.    An invoice will be sent to each school/district according to the cost guidelines established below. The cost varies for Phase I and Phase II due to a renegotiated contract with D2L.
