ACADEMICSThe University of West Georgia
The University of West Georgia (UWG), a growing regional institution of over 10,000 students located 45 miles west of Atlanta, houses one of the Southeast's largest graduate teacher education programs as well as numerous undergraduate programs and a new doctoral program in school improvement that reflects university-wide faculty involvement. All programs are accredited by NCATE and the Georgia Professional Standards Commission. The College of Education is composed of the departments of Counseling and Educational Psychology, Curriculum and Instruction, Educational Leadership and Professional Studies, Media and Instructional Technology, Physical Education and Recreation, and Special Education and Speech-Language Pathology.
Our theme is "developing educators for school improvement", and we have identified 10 descriptors that provide the shared vision and strength of our programs-i.e., educators who are leaders, decision makers, lifelong learners, empathetic, proactive, culturally sensitive, knowledgeable, collaborative, reflective, and adaptive. We are seeking to attract colleagues who support these descriptors and model them as educators in teacher education programs.
