Georgia State’s Early Childhood Education Department Teams Up With M.A. Jones Elementary

Georgia State University’s Early Childhood Education Department and M. Agnes Jones Elementary have teamed up to promote Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Education. 

According to TalkUp APS, "the partnership between The Urban Accelerated Certification and Master’s Program (UACM) and M. Agnes Jones Elementary is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education’s Transition to Teaching Grant titled Teaching Teachers Together: Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Success or better known as 3-STEMS."

The primary goal of the 3-STEMS grant is to increase the number of highly qualified teachers committed to high-need urban schools.  Project activities include the development of a Professional Learning Site at partnering school M. Agnes Jones Elementary.

M. Agnes Jones Principal Margul Woolfolk stated, "this partnership is such a wonderful opportunity to prepare our students for College and Career readiness in a way that’s leading them to become globally competitive.”
