University of North Georgia (91ÁÔÆæ) College of Education professor Dr. Carly Womack-Wynne received a Fulbright Specialist award to Uzbekistan at the Innovation, Technology and Strategy Center.

"The project began in April and will end in October of this year," Wynne said. "I am writing an instruction manual for teachers in public schools on implementing technology in the classroom, keynoting a conference, conducting in-person training, and working on a publication with the Ministry of Public Education team there."

While overseas from mid to late August, Wynne will complete a project at the Innovation, Technology and Strategy Center that aims to exchange knowledge and establish partnerships benefiting participants, institutions and communities in both the U.S. and overseas through a variety of education and training activities within education.

This is Wynne's second Fulbright to Uzbekistan. Her first was at the Presidential Schools, where she redesigned the national math and science standards.

"During that stint, I was able to begin relationships with a variety of entities that allowed for continued collaborations between 91ÁÔÆæ and the Ministry of Public Education. It is as a result of those collaborations that I was invited to reapply and return a second time," Wynne said.

Wynne said she loves Uzbekistan's culture, people, food, and friends she has made. 

"The relationships are the allure. It is really rewarding to cultivate long-lasting collaborations that are fruitful and benefit P-12 students as well as their teachers," Wynne said.

Wynne was one of over 400 selected through the Fulbright Specialist program this year.

She currently teaches classroom management, social studies methods, reading methods, and research methods.

Recipients of Fulbright Specialist awards are selected on the basis of academic and professional achievements, demonstrated leadership in their field and their potential to foster long-term cooperation between institutions in the U.S. and abroad.
