Fulton County Honored for Master Teachers

Governor Nathan Deal recently announced that more than one third of the 2011 Master Teachers are from Fulton County Schools - more than any other county in the state for the second year in a row.

Thirty out of 86 Master Teachers are from Fulton County this year.

Created by the General Assembly in 2005, the Georgia Master Teacher Certification Program identifies and recognizes educators who have positively influenced student achievement in the classroom and consistently demonstrated excellence.

“Being designated a Master Teacher shows that these 30 classroom teachers are committed to using effective teaching methods and research strategies,” said Superintendent Cindy Loe. “They join a distinguished group of educators who are committed to doing whatever it takes to help students succeed.”
