“The Reality of Our Liberty”: The First Amendment and Freedom of the Press.
The Georgia Historical Society (GHS) will host a professional learning workshop for K-12 Georgia educators at the GHS Research Center in Savannah, Georgia on Monday, June 3, 2024.
Participation in this one-day event will provide educators with a sneak peak into the 2024-2025 Georgia History Festival theme and help them prepare engaging and informative classroom lessons and activities connected to the theme. This workshop is geared towards middle and high school Social Studies teachers, but is adaptable for educators across all grade levels.
The workshop will include:
· A keynote panel discussion with local investigative journalists;
· An investigation of primary sources related to Georgia’s journalistic history;
· Hands-on activities using Georgia Historical Markers related to the theme;
· Collegial conversations to connect the theme to the classroom.
Participants will receive documentation confirming completion of eight hours of professional learning to submit to their administration, county, or district.
A non-refundable registration fee of $20.00 is required, which will cover lunch. Spaces are limited.
GHS is offering a limited number of scholarships for participants coming from outside the Savannah area. Representatives of Georgia’s RESA system are especially encouraged to apply.
