🍎 Our GaTAPP Team!

Sheila Poole (left), Nicki Coneway (middle), and Carolyn Whitaker (right) help support and grow new teachers across our region! ❤️

GaTAPP is Georgia’s alternative pathway to teacher certification, giving individuals who didn’t take the traditional education route an opportunity to become certified teachers.

These three help our GaTAPP candidates learn the ropes, build confidence, and grow into great educators. We’re so thankful for the experience, encouragement, and heart they bring to this work!

The Oconee RESA Regional Literacy Team is excited to be partnering with district and school leaders and school-based literacy coaches to grow strong literacy support across our region.

By working together, sharing what we’re learning, and building on the great work already happening in our schools and classrooms, we can strengthen the support that literacy coaches provide to teachers. HB 1193 may guide the work, but the heart of it is simple: helping more kids become confident readers.
