Abstract	This report presents the Georgia edition of the National Council on Teacher Quality's 2008 "State Teacher Policy Yearbook." The 2008 "Yearbook" focuses on how state policies impact the retention of effective new teachers. This policy evaluation is broken down into three areas that encompass 15 goals. Broadly, these goals examine the impact of state policy on 1) identifying effective teachers, 2) retaining those deemed effective and 3) exiting those deemed ineffective. While Georgia is making progress toward meeting some this goals, significant room for improvement remains in many others. The state completely missed six goals, met a small portion of two, partially met four, nearly met two and fully met one. Georgia's best performance is in its support of differential pay in shortage subject areas and high-needs schools. The state has the most work to do in making tenure decisions meaningful; requiring a mentoring program for new teachers; ensuring its pension system is portable, flexible and fair; and strengthening its policies regarding some teacher compensation issues. Georgia's progress toward meeting these goals is summarized. The body of the report provides a more detailed breakdown of the state's strengths and weaknesses in each area. Georgia has an overall performance of D+ for 2008. Goals for each area are appended. (Contains 57 figures.) [Additional support for the 2008 "State Teacher Policy Yearbook" was provided by the Teaching Commission. For the national summary, see ED514690.] (ERIC).
