As we enter another semester, remember who and what is the heart of learning: our teachers. Not AI, not tablets, not television. Human beings who hold our children when it's storytime; walk them through learning to read and count; and spend countless hours preparing to do it again the next day, and the next and the next. Teachers, you the HEART of learning, and we appreciate you!

GSU's MACIE program is a unique master's degree for people who are not necessarily planning to go into the classroom but will work in education roles such as non-profits, entrepreneurial ventures, education policy and more.
