The Alonzo A. Crim Center at GSU was established in 1996 to provide a “city-wide laboratory for the development of excellence in urban education.” A grant from the United Parcel Service (UPS) Foundation provided much of the Center’s early funding. During that time, the Center also received funding from an Annenberg Foundation grant involving a collaborative effort between several school districts and universities designed to create schools that “provided excellent education for low-income African-American children.” The Crim Center was originally housed in the COE’s Department of Educational Policy Studies. The Crim Center is currently funded by the Offices of the Dean in the College of Education. Georgia State University’s College of Education has provided office space and administrative support in the Crim Center for some projects that have an urban focus. The Crim Center is described as interdisciplinary. Projects housed in the Center involve faculty from COE departments. A central goal of the Crim Center is to “bring together faculty,educators, and community members who are interested in conducting research and provide services to schools in urban school systems.” Many of the grants awarded to the Crim Center require interdisciplinary approaches whose partners span departments and K-12 urban schools.

Quality Rated is a systemic approach to assess, improve, and communicate the level of quality in early education and school‐age care programs. Similar to rating systems for other service related industries, Quality Rated assigns a quality rating (one star, two star, or three star) to early education and school‐age care programs that meet a set of defined program standards. By participating in Georgia’s voluntary Quality Rated, early education and school‐age care programs embark on a path of continuous quality improvement. More and more children in the United States and in Georgia are cared for every day in out-of-home early care and education settings. Research supports that the quality of care children receive in their child care settings dramatically affects their physical, mental, and academic development. Consequently, the emphasis on improving the quality of early care and education services has increased. Quality Rated provides opportunities for Georgia to: Identify indicators that enhance children’s development and promote school readiness. Increase quality of early care and education services. Increase families’ understanding and demand for higher quality early care and education. Increase professional development opportunities, benchmarks, and rewards for a range of early care and education practitioners and providers. Create a cross‐sector framework that can link standards, technical assistance, monitoring, finance, and consumer engagement for programs in a range of settings, including family day care homes, child care centers, school‐based programs, Head Start programs, and others.

The General Assembly has operated continuously since 1777, when Georgia became one of the thirteen original states and revoked its status as a colony of Great Britain. Since the General Assembly is the legislative body for the state, the location of its meetings has moved along with each move of the state capital. In its earliest days the legislature met first in Savannah, and subsequently in Augusta, Louisville, and Milledgeville. In 1868 the capital—and the assembly—settled permanently in Atlanta. Today the General Assembly meets in the state capitol, an impressive limestone and marble building with a distinctive gold dome and granite foundation. Each chamber is housed in a separate wing.
