Wisconsin Geographic Alliance - Dr. Mark Bockenhauer, Parisa Watson

The Wisconsin Geographic Alliance (WIGA) is a nonprofit statewide organization, with a mission to provide high quality professional development, resources, and support to prepare a geographically literate population. Dr. Mark Bockenhauer and Parisa Watson will share information about the opportunities that WIGA provides - including assistance with concepts central to World History, U.S. History and (AP) Human Geography. They will also share a selection of integrative hands-on activities that can be used in upper elementary through high school classes. 

Lesson Plan Exchange - Participants

Plan on taking home items shared by conference attendees . Be sure to bring 25 copies of a lesson or a resource that you would like to share.
