Three faculty members recognized for teaching excellence
Three faculty members in the College of Education were named Teaching Academy Fellows by the University of Georgia Teaching Academy, a forum that was established by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the American Association for Higher Education to discuss, celebrate and promote teaching excellence.
This year, out of 24 fellows selected across the university, three were recognized in the College of Education, including:
- Morgan Faison, assistant professor in the Department of Educational Theory and Practice
- Amanda Ferster, limited-term assistant professor in the Department of Educational Psychology and an assistant director at the Georgia Center for Assessment
- Liz Saylor, clinical assistant professor in the Department of Educational Theory and Practice
Each academic year, both tenure track and non-tenure track faculty are selected as Teaching Academy Fellows and are later split into teams of four or five to work closely with two award-winning senior Teaching Academy faculty mentors throughout the year.
