Start a Teaching Career this Fall:
AASU to Host Information Sessions on Fast-Track Teaching Program

SAVANNAH, GA—January 8, 2004—For college graduates with the desire to seek a new and rewarding career, Armstrong Atlantic State University may have an alternative.

Destination: Teaching is a collaborative program between the Armstrong Atlantic State University College of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and other area school districts that address the severe teacher shortage in southeast Georgia.

The goal is to place teachers in classrooms in fall 2004. Those admitted to the program will take three courses during the summer on the Armstrong Atlantic campus and complete the required coursework over the next two years while they are teaching. Candidates can specialize in early childhood, middle grades, secondary, or special education.

This program makes candidates eligible for intern licensure under the Georgia Teacher Alternative Preparation Program (GaTAPP).

Some scholarships, covering the summer’s tuition, may be available under this program for those who agree to teach for three years in high need districts.

To find out more, attend one of the following informational meetings at AASU. The sessions will be held in the Fine Arts Auditorium at AASU.

Saturday, January 24 at 10 a.m.
Tuesday, January 27 at 6 p.m.
Wednesday, January 28 at 6 p.m.
