The Georgia Association of Teacher Educators 2017 Conference #GATE2017 was held on October 11-12, 2017 at Lake Blackshear Golf Resort in Cordele, Georgia. Educators representing colleges, universities and K-12 organizations from all over Georgia convened for sessions over the two day period to share their expertise.
