Exciting News!

We are pleased to announce that the entire CREATE Teacher Residency program will now be fully housed in Georgia State’s College of Education & Human Development. We thank Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School for their generous partnership and support for the CREATE program and look forward to continued collaborations.

All CREATE staff will now be Georgia State University employees. Our current residents, partners and overall program will be operationally and programmatically strengthened by Georgia State’s local, regional, national and global strategic initiatives, and greatly benefit from the university’s resource and development support.

We will debut our new website in Fall 2022.

Developing New Teachers

Supporting Teacher-Leaders

Engaging Radical Collaboration

“Recognizing how easily personal biases refract perspectives, CREATE can be viewed as a multi-generational (K12 student, novice teacher, veteran educator) strategy for addressing educational inequities.”

- Danielle Gray, Program Officer - R Howard Dobbs Foundation (January 2020

"CREATE exemplies collaboration on so many levels – public & private funders, school district & university partners, charter & traditional schools, and seasoned older & new fresher teachers.”

- Atiba Mbiwan, Executive Director – The Zeist Foundation (January 2020)

 

“We love our partnership with CREATE. Dozens of our staff have participated in CREATE’s professional learning – including me – and it has helped drive powerful and honest conversations about educational equity."

-Greg Giornelli, Chief Executive Officer - Purpose Built Schools Atlanta (January 2020)

“I am a more compassionate (and therefore more effective) teacher as a result of CREATE. And I’m staying in the classroom longer because of my mentoring role!  Being a CREATE mentor has been a satisfying way to develop my leadership skills without the requirement that I give up my direct work with students.”

-Mentor Teacher, 2019
