Alabama Bicentennial Professional Development

The Alabama Geographic Alliance is partnering with the Alabama Bicentennial Commission to offer professional development for teachers that connects the Alabama Bicentennial to geography and to the Alabama Social Studies, Science, and English Language Arts Courses of Study for grades 1 – 7.

Our training will include presentation and modeling of two, grade-appropriate, Alabama Standards-based lessons and one Giant Map lesson. We will host two strands: Elementary (1-4) and Middle (5-7). We will cover the cost of a catered lunch, all materials, and experienced instructors. Each participant will walk away having experienced two classroom-ready lessons. In addition, all participants will be provided an opportunity to use the Giant Map of Alabama at no cost.
