The Governor's Teaching Fellows Program was established by Zell Miller, governor of Georgia, 1991-1999, to provide Georgia's higher education faculty with expanded opportunities for developing important teaching skills. The program is offered through the Institute of Higher Education at the University of Georgia.
Governor's Teaching Fellows may participate in either an academic-year symposia or an intensive summer symposium, which are held at the Institute of Higher Education. Past symposia have addressed numerous topics in using technology in the classroom and other pedagogical innovations.
