COMING APRIL 13 @ 12:00 PM
We all know the saying, “It takes a village to raise a child.” But how do we apply this wisdom to our children right here in Georgia? To truly support child well-being, we must look beyond the family unit, to address the societal factors that set families up for success. And we need to do it together — with the help of our friends, neighbors, coworkers, business leaders, and the faith community. Together, we are all invested in a promising future for Georgia. This is a conversation on how we can come together as a village to help children thrive and build a better future for us all.

As Georgia educators expand the world for their students, class after class, we think they need a place to share…and learn. We are excited to introduce a new podcast series presented by the Georgia Department of Education and GPB Education. Each episode features teachers who are approaching the curriculum in innovative, impactful ways. Forget talk! This…is teacher talk! Classroom Conversations is available everywhere you listen to podcasts.

A visit to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta proves to us, and hopefully to our audience, that a simple interest in math and technology can lead to a wide variety of career opportunities. Although we take a fun and loose approach to learning about the Federal Reserve, our Teachable Moments are truly insightful. They include a description of what this institution is and does and a discussion of the gold standard and exactly what gives money its value.
