About Pre-Teaching

The Georgia Tech Pre-Teaching program supports undergraduates, graduate students, post-docs, and alumni considering a career in K-12 education. We can connect you with career exploration opportunities such as internships, volunteer activities, and shadowing that will help you in your decision process. We can also explain state certification, public and private school options, and provide graduate school application and job search support. From first year to professional, we are here for you!

IMPORTANT CHANGE TO ADVISING SYSTEM

Georgia Tech advisors across campus switched to a new advising system called Advisor Link as of September 14, 2020. GradesFirst is no longer be used. Go to https://advisor.gatech.edu/ to make an appointment,.

Please email Susan Belmonte, the GT Pre-Graduate Advisor, directly at sbelmonte@gatech.edu if you have questions or problems making an appointment.

IMPORTANT CHANGES DUE TO COVID-19 (updated 12/18/2020)

GT Pre-Teaching Advising offers remote advising appointment and drop-ins as part of our regular practice. Due to COVID-19, we will continue to use a hybrid model of advising in Spring 2021 and until further notice. Click here for updates about GT's response to COVID-19.

Full-length advisement appointments

All appointments for Spring 2021 are currently virtual except by special request.  

Regularly scheduled appointments will be held virtually via  BlueJeans unless an in-person meeting is specifically requested. Schedule a full-length, virtual appointment through Advisor Link at https://advisor.gatech.edu/.

Pre-Teaching advisors will be available for in-person appointments  only by special request.  To request an in-person appointment, email sbelmonte@gatech.edu.

All advisees and advisors are required to wear a mask when inside buildings on campus, including for advising appointments.

Please note that teleconferencing makes ensuring FERPA privacy difficult. Advisors will conduct video advising in a private location, and we recommend that students do the same to limit the amount of information which could be overheard by others in the vicinity. By agreeing to videoconference-advising, students are confirming they understand this situation. 

All appointments are scheduled for Eastern Daylight Time/Eastern Standard Time. Students located in other time zones may contact their advisor directly for scheduling options that better fit their schedules. 

Drop-in hours

All drop-in hours for Spring 2021 will continue to be virtual via BlueJeans. There are no in-person drop-in hours in an effort to maintain the safety and health of advisors and students. Please note that BlueJeans meetings are public spaces; anybody with the appropriate links can join those meetings, so they are not ideal for private conversations. Quick, general questions are best for the BlueJeans hour. Schedule an appointment for more personal conversations. 

There are no drop-in hours during holiday closures.

You can join Bluejeans drop-ins at these hours:

Mondays 8:30-9:30 am (Eastern Standard/Daylight Time): https://bluejeans.com/4007039561 (canceled Monday, February 22, 2021)
Thursdays 3:00-4:00 pm (Eastern Standard/Daylight Time): https://bluejeans.com/4007039561

NOTE: Advising via video conference makes ensuring FERPA privacy difficult. Advisors will conduct video advising in a private location and recommend that students do the same to limit the amount of information which could be overheard by others in the vicinity. By agreeing to video conference advising, students are confirming they understand this situation.
