Today was the 2024 G*E Day at the Capitol. We had a great amount of Aspiring Educators that came out to speak with their Senators and Representatives about the struggle of their Unpaid Student Teaching. We lobbied on House Bill 148 that would provide student teachers in Georgia with $7,500 during their Pre-Service Teaching Engagement. We were able to speak with the maker of the House bill and we got to speak to Senator Halpern who will be introducing this in the senate. We are making strides in Georgia towards an accessible and equitable teaching workforce that will ensure that students have access to competent, effective, and diverse educators!
