Social Studies Standards Series: Geography

Kansas state social studies assessments are coming during the 2009-2010 school year. Are you ready? During this workshop, participants will experience engaging hands-on lessons that address the standards including Google Earth, IQ Traveler and Material World. Participants will leave with access to resources to support teaching and learning of both tested and non-tested state indicators in geography.
