Congratulations to our very own Mrs. Joy Roberts on being selected as a Georgia Department of Education Teacher Policy Fellow for the 2026–2027 school year!
The GaDOE Teacher Policy Fellowship is a unique nine-month professional learning opportunity designed to provide classroom teachers with firsthand insight into public education policy and the policymaking process. Fellows engage in seminars, conversations, and projects while learning from policymakers, legislators, GaDOE leaders, and other experts in public education.
Through this experience, Mrs. Roberts will have an opportunity to deepen her understanding of how education policy is designed and implemented while contributing the valuable perspective of a classroom educator.
We know Mrs. Roberts will represent Valdosta High School and Wildcat Nation exceptionally well while sharing the experiences, perspectives, and needs of our scholars and educators with state policymakers and decision-makers.
Congratulations, Mrs. Roberts! We are proud of you!
