Mary Frances Early
College of Education

After joining the University of Georgia’s faculty in 1979, Professor emeritis Carl Glickman founded the Georgia League of Professional Schools, a nationally validated network of K-12 schools devoted to the democratic learning of all students. Over the years, Glickman authored 16 books on school leadership, supervision, democracy, and the moral imperative of public education. Recently, Glickman and his wife Sara, a former Clarke County middle school teacher, established a significant endowment to the Mary Frances Early College of Education called The Glickman Challenge Project-Based Learning Grant to support faculty who are collaborating with school-based practitioners to improve active learning in schools with a high percentage of low-income students.
