We’re thrilled to have hosted the USAID Teach for Tomorrow Executive Study Tour on September 12, 2024! 🎉 This event brought together 10 exceptional Egyptian primary school principals and representatives from the Egyptian Ministry of Education. These principals are the top graduates of their leadership academy, similar to leadership programs we have here in Georgia. Sponsored by the Education Development Center (EDC) and the Mary Frances Early College of Education at UGA, the tour provided participants with valuable insights into how Georgia school districts, including Morgan County, approach education across urban, suburban, and rural contexts. 🌍 During their visit, we proudly showcased our elementary school, career academy, and district-wide school improvement strategies. The group also enjoyed a delicious southern lunch prepared by our talented culinary students, led by Eddie Tolbert, and experienced our School Improvement Leadership Team in action! It was an incredible opportunity to share our practices and strengthen international connections. 🌟 #MorganCountySchools #TeachForTomorrow #EducationForAll #LeadershipInEducation #GlobalConnections
