The GGA Needs Teachers of All Grades & Subjects!

avallenc · August 29th, 2011, 02:41 PM

Over the next year, the GGA will be recruiting teachers of all grades and subjects to create content for a new GGA website. This includes content such as videos and lesson plans that show everyone that geography is everywhere and is relevant to everything, not just social studies. The long term goal of the new website will be to create online portals for students, educators, and parents as well as citizens and business leaders to see how geography is relevant to them.

The GGA is also launching a campaign to recruit teacher consultants across the state. Our goal is to have a TC in every school district by 2015. To become a TC, teachers are required to complete a free online video workshop on teaching geography. TC’s will be in charge of membership outreach and disseminating teaching materials in their districts. Benefits of being a TC include eligibility for continuing education field trips and advanced training as well as other networking opportunities. TC’s are also the first recipients any educational materials received or purchased by the Alliance.

If your interested, check yes to the questions on the last page of the new membership form available here.
