This year GHP also welcomed the inaugural class of the GHP Educator Fellowship. The Educator Fellowship is designed for experienced Georgia educators interested in a four-day immersive GHP experience. During the last week of June GHP Educator Fellows delved into several of the components of GHP including its history student preparation nomination and course offerings to prepare students in their schools for the application process. The fellowship also allowed participating educators an opportunity to network with GHP staff to develop an innovative lesson for a wide range of student learners and to learn from and interact with current GHP students.
