• Participate in three presentations given by CDC scientists on topics such as folic acid, fetal alcohol syndrome, epidemiology, surveillance, and genetics.

• Receive educational training from Georgia Learning Connections (GLC) experts on developing effective lesson plans.

• Receive educational materials from GLC and CDC's National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD).
