Purpose
The
Division for Assessment and Accountability offers Formative
Instructional Practices (FIP), a blended model of
professional learning for Georgia educators. This resource assists
educators in learning about formative instructional practices and use of these
processes to improve teaching and student learning. FIP online content includes
evidence-based instruction and assessment processes that assist teachers and students in collecting and responding
to evidence of student learning in ways that facilitate greater student
learning. A key expectation of FIP is that teachers develop the skills to
guide students to take ownership of their own learning. Research has proven
that FIP processes, when used appropriately during teaching and learning,
increase student achievement.
It is
also important to know that FIP course content aligns with the performance
expectations for Georgia’s teachers and leaders. See the Educators
Section of this web page for the alignment of GA FIP to the Teacher
Keys Effectiveness System (TKES) and the Leader Keys Effectiveness System
(LKES).

Accessing
Georgia FIP Courses
Georgia
FIP online began in 2013-2014. GaDOE purchased the original FIP online learning
courses for use through the SLDS. K-12 educators can access the original
courses through the Professional Development tab in the SLDS. Georgia FIP revised courses are accessible to
educators through unique district office and school access codes. Additionally,
access codes are based on the role of the educator as either a leader
(administrative) or a teacher (learner). Both administrators and teachers can take
courses after creating an individual online learning account using their
role-based FIP access code and work email address. Those with FIP
administrative accounts can monitor the online learning progress of staff. To
create a FIP individual online learning account with a unique access code, use
the “Login to FIP” link on the FIP webpage. Unique access codes are available
from the district’s Test Coordinator.
