Join us for a three-hour professional development workshop that will acquaint you with the tools to better teach geography! Teachers will learn about a bottom-up approach to teaching called Powerful Geography. Powerful Geography helps teachers better understand who their students are and what it is they aspire to be. Teachers will become familiar with our website and the various teacher and student resources available that will help them make geography relevant and exciting for the classroom. This workshop will encourage participants to create their own Powerful Geography lesson plans and teaching strategies.
This session is provided by the Gilbert Grosvenor Center for Geographic Education, and the Texas Alliance for Geographic Education at Texas State University in a continued partnership with ESC-20.
