As you step into your first professional role in education, be aware of the important place you will occupy in the lives of countless students in the years to come. Getting to know your students — their interests, hopes and dreams — will form the beneficial relationships that will allow you to give your best effort to their success. The Professional Association of Georgia Educators (PAGE) exists to help you on your career path, whether that began as a high school student in Future Georgia Educators or through Code of Ethics presentations during your college years. PAGE will be with you through your entire career as the premier educator and public education advocate in Georgia, a trusted legal advisor and support for professional growth.

As you grow as an educator, PAGE professional learning will support you to be the best educator possible. You’ll increasingly realize that education is subject to numerous changes in state and federal laws and policies.
