“The Secondary Social Science program at GSU provides students a strong content background and the pedagogical skills to be a teacher who can actively engage students in the study of social sciences disciplines.  Students are prepared through multiple and diverse field placements to gain experience in actual educational contexts, and through course work that combines theory and content with hands on learning experiences.” – Dr. Lisa Pennington, Social Sciences with a Concentration in Teacher Education Program Coordinator
