There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

The Pre-Teaching Spring 2023 internship at Centennial Academy, a K-8 conversion charter school in Atlanta Public Schools, will support the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) environment. The intern will support Accelerated Pathway Teachers in various grade levels as well as the STEAM Specialist and Gifted Coordinator. The emphasis of the experience will be on meeting the needs of a wide spectrum of learners particularly those identified as high-achieving learners. Research has shown that oftentimes accelerated scholars are one of the most underserved populations within schools. With the Accelerated Pathway, scholars receive rigorous instruction using above grade-level standards in Mathematics and Science. The Accelerated Pathway Program is further enhanced through daily integration of rigorous Project-Based Learning (PBL) Units.
