Who Is GOSS?

---

 GOSS is the Georgia chapter of the National Organization for Student Success (NOSS) and comprised of teachers and administrators from all levels of education in the state.  

EDUCATIONAL MISSION

Like its parent organization, NOSS, GOSS seeks to improve the theory and practice of developmental education at all levels of the educational spectrum, the professional capabilities of developmental educators, and the design of programs to prepare developmental educators.   GOSS focuses on the academic success of students by

• providing professional development, 
• supporting student learning, 
• providing public leadership,
• disseminating exemplary models of practice, 
• coordinating efforts with other organizations, 
• facilitating communication among developmental education professionals, and 
• anticipating trends.  

NOSS's motto ("Helping underprepared students prepare, prepared students advance, and advanced students excel") is intended to convey the fundamental belief that developmental education services enhance academic, personal, and professional achievement for all learners.  GOSS supports this mantra.
