Alumna receives New Teacher Assistance Grant
Tita Lovell, an alumna of the College of Education’s science education program, was recently awarded the New Teacher Assistance Grant from Georgia Power to purchase materials and supplies for her high school classroom.
Lovell, who graduated with a master’s degree in science education this past spring, is a first-year physics and environmental science teacher at Flowery Branch High School in Hall County. The $1,000 grant from Georgia Power will provide Lovell with the necessary funds to purchase paper clips, tape, and toy cars for various classroom activities.
I am truly humbled to receive this grant," said Lovell. “I never expected to receive a grant to help me start my teaching career, and I tried to do my best to use the money to stock my classroom with what I thought were the most important essentials the students would need.
