Chandler Fortson, 22, of Jackson, graduated from the University of Georgia in Athens in December with a degree in Early Childhood Education. But the highlight of Fortson’s educational career at UGA did not take place in Athens, reports a feature story in the March 12 issue of the Jackson Progress-Argus.
Fortson was chosen to take part in a program that allowed her to do her semester of practice teaching in Quito, Ecuador. The semester in Quito finished her education degree at UGA, an experience that included classroom work in Clarke County elementary schools and in Costa Rica.
