Alexandra Flowers of Emanuel County Schools has received a 2022 Professional Association of Georgia Educators (PAGE) Educator Grant. These funds enabled Flowers to buy educational materials to help her ESOL students develop different skills that would improve not only their language proficiency and academic performance, but also their social and emotional intelligence. Given they come from different backgrounds and cultures, these aspects of their learning are of special importance.
The PAGE Educator Grant program, now in its third year, has provided more than $275,000 to hundreds of educators throughout Georgia, enabling recipients to purchase supplies and materials for classrooms, students, and professional development.
“PAGE is honored to support instruction and learning in Georgia’s schools through the educator grants to our members across the state,” said Executive Director Craig Harper. “These additional resources contribute to all areas of student needs, from academics to the arts to health and well-being. The grant applications, more than 1,150 this year alone, demonstrate the deep commitment Georgia educators have to enhancing school and classroom experiences for their students.”
