You are invited
to participate in an exciting Seminar Series
The focus of this program is to look at the major themes of the History and Social Science Framework (History, Geography, Economics, and Civics & Government) grades 1-8, through a geographic lens. Workshops will focus on each topic and help teachers identify the geographic connections.
Participants will be involved in focused workshops which will present hands-on activities, projects, literature and games for teachers to use in their classrooms. Program participants will be introduced to an array of available teaching resources as they explore and appreciate the role of the geographic approach in understanding the major themes of social studies.
