Preservice & New Teachers

Our mission

The preservice division serves as a vital platform for art education students currently enrolled in their programs. Its primary goal is to facilitate the introduction of these students to the extensive resources and benefits offered by the Georgia Art Education Association (GAEA). By participating in this division, students can gain valuable insights into the art education field, connect with experienced educators, and access a variety of professional development opportunities. Overall, this division aims to prepare future art educators for successful careers, empowering them to make a meaningful impact in the lives of their students and the broader art community."
