Education Forum
October 28, 1004
CARROLLTON, GA - The University of West Georgia College of Education will sponsor a “Soul in Education” forum Nov. 4 from 9 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. on the UWG campus.
The “Soul in Education” forum is a series of events designed to nourish educators through addressing the big concerns of schooling. Events are planned to help educators draw out the best in themselves and their students as they balance concerns for information and skills with the possibility of cultivating wisdom and transforming learning in the classroom, said Dr. Tom Peterson, UWG professor of education and coordinator of the event.
The forum will include lectures from Dr. Nel Noddings, professor of philosophy and education at Teachers College, Columbia University and Dr. Lee L. Jacks, professor of child education at Stanford University.
The discussions and lectures will especially help K-12 teachers, higher education faculty, school administrators, and counselors, Peterson said.
The event is $10 and lunch is included and registration is required. For information on registration contact the UWG College of Education at 678-839-6128.
