The Governor's Office of Student Achievement (GOSA) strives to increase student achievement and school completion across Georgia through meaningful, transparent, and objective analysis and communication of statewide data. In addition, GOSA provides policy support to the Governor and, ultimately, to the citizens of Georgia.
Employment Opportunities
GOSA is hiring for the following positions:
Innovative Programs Specialist
K-12 School Connectivity Grants Program Manager
Summer 2014 Governor's Honors Program (multiple positions)
February E-Bulletin: Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)
As an alternative to a traditional discipline system, PBIS provides a framework that uses data to guide, integrate, and implement evidencebased behavioral practices for improving school climate when implemented with fidelity. Education stakeholders from the public and private sectors are striving to increase Georgia's PBIS infrastructure and assistance to promote the adoption of PBIS across the state. Preliminary results from Georgia's PBIS districts show promising improvements, but more in-depth research is needed to establish the causal effects of PBIS on academic achievement.

Class of 2013 AP Results
According to an annual College Board report, more Georgia graduates are succeeding on Advanced Placement (AP) tests than took the exams in 2003. Forty percent of 2013 public high school graduates took an AP exam, and 21.3% of these graduates scored a 3 or higher, a passing score. Although more economically disadvantaged students are now taking and passing AP exams, these students are still underrepresented. As a result, Georgia still has room to increase lowincome student participation and success on AP exams.

CRCT and EOCT Erasure Analyses Released
GOSA released the results of the End-ofCourse Test (EOCT) and Criterion Referenced Competency Test (CRCT) erasure analyses for the 2012-13 school year. The analyses focused on the number of wrong answers that had been changed to right answers on individual student answer sheets. Classrooms across the state were flagged in which the number of wrong-to-right changes were three standard deviations or more above the state average. Overall, less than 2% of Georgia's elementary and middle school classrooms were flagged using this criterion. While there are a few classrooms of concern that require further investigation, the majority of EOCT classrooms throughout the state were cleared.
