Graduate students recognized for excellence in teaching
Eighteen graduate teaching assistants in the University of Georgia’s College of Education were recently recognized by the Office of the Vice President for Instruction and the Graduate School for their significant contributions to the instructional mission of the university.
Meghan Barnes, a teaching assistant in the Department of Language and Literacy Education, was one of five students to receive the 2017 Graduate School Excellence in Teaching Award.
My students consistently challenge me to think more critically about teaching, to consider new perspectives and to think of new ways to grow as a teacher," said Barnes, a fourth-year doctoral student in English education. “It’s been an absolute joy to work with so many talented, creative, and intelligent students.
In addition to Barnes’ recognition, 14 College of Education students were named Outstanding Teaching Assistants for 2017. A total of 134 students were recognized by the university.
