The faculty meets at least twice each year, once during Fall Term and once during Spring Term. Quotidian governance of the Professional Education Faculty is conducted by the Professional Education Council, which consists of faculty members elected from the various teacher education areas, faculty members appointed by the Dean of the College of Education and Human Development, students appointed by their departments, and school personnel representing Metro-Atlanta school systems. The position of the Professional Education Chair will be filled in alternative years by (a) a member of the faculty of the College of Education and Human Development and (b) a member of the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences or College of the Arts or Perimeter College.
