Honoring 30 Years of Elevating Teaching and Learning in Georgia

For over 30 years, the Governor’s Teaching Fellows Program has elevated teaching and learning in higher education classrooms across the state of Georgia. The program gives fellows the time and structure to explore innovative pedagogies like AI tools and effective course design — equipping them with the skills to drive meaningful change at their home institutions.

Over 750 fellows from 65 institutions have benefited from the program, reaching over 35,000 students annually.

The Governor’s Teaching Fellows Program is hosted by the Louise McBee Institute of Higher Education at the University of Georgia, nationally and internationally known for its cutting-edge research, outstanding graduate programs, and significant public service and outreach programs. GTF is the institute’s oldest and most significant outreach program impacting faculty throughout Georgia.
