Today was the first training session for the new GSCS Operation RESET program, which aims to reset expectations among all stakeholders. The first cohort of 20 includes middle school math and ELA teachers. The cohort will participate in two more in-person professional development sessions with occasional small group virtual conferences in between. The trainer for this program is Professor Dr. Megan Mowbray of the Georgia State University Master of Education Program.
Sam Allen, a Griffin High School Graduate (c/o 1954) and a successful investment banker and businessman, has made a generous donation, creating a 1.1-million-dollar designated endowment through Griffin-Spalding Partners in Education. This endowment will create annual funds to be used for professional development to help add new tools to the toolbelts of our teachers.
This is just the beginning of the program, intended to have a long-term positive impact. This endowment will provide funding to annually invest in education in Griffin-Spalding County forever.
GSCS is grateful for this investment in the future of our public education system and is excited about this impactful opportunity!
