Greetings Social Studies Friends!
It is my honor to invite you to the Georgia Council for the Social Studies annual conference, taking place on Thursday, October 10-Friday, October 11, 2019 at the Classic Center in Athens, Georgia.
This invitation represents so much more than a “save the date,” it is an invitation to learn, an invitation to share, an invitation to smile, and an invitation to join your colleagues from across the state in experiencing the joy that comes with attending this conference! This two-day conference is packed full of opportunity to attend expert and practitioner-led sessions where participants will leave with resources and strategies ready for easy implementation in their own classrooms. As always, we will have a robust vendor hall where publishers, organizations, and lovers of social studies gather to provide insight and resources to support your daily instruction and leadership. We look forward to dynamic speakers, engaging mini-sessions, and the heart-warming awards luncheon where we recognize leaders in our field. Finally, we are thrilled to welcome Teaching American History (TAH.org) to Georgia where they will host a one-day workshop facilitated by award-winning historians. And guess what? Your opportunity to register for this experience is available through your conference registration!
Whether you are new to GCSS, or a longtime member, there is something for everyone and this will be a conference to remember. We hope you will consider joining us in the Classic City and I look forward to learning with you!
Cheerfully, Heather MacKenzie, President of GCSS, 2019 08/13/192019 Election Bios are online. CLICK HERE to check them out. |
