Higher Education

As Georgia's flagship public research institution, The University of Georgia, and its College of Education, serve the state through research, teaching and outreach. Perhaps nowhere else in the University's efforts are these three foci more intertwined than in the pursuit of improving PreK-12 education and related human services. Our efforts as a College of Education include developing new instructional techniques, methods for better assessing student learning, and novel approaches to improving human services. These research efforts result in new discoveries and infuse the state of Georgia with new ideas and resources. Our collective efforts also enrich the course content for our students, allowing us to provide cutting-edge ideas to the next generation of practitioners and leaders in fields as diverse as elementary education, adult education, speech pathology, psychometrics, exercise science, and information technology. All of this research and teaching is accomplished within the context of service to Georgia and its many communities. The College's efforts - as multifaceted as they are - ultimately are successful only if they impact the lives of people in the community.
