Civic Education
Active citizenship is an important concept, but how does one teach it? Georgia teachers can learn how to effectively implement performance-based civic education programs by attending teacher workshops offered by the Institute. Educators can also benefit from such initiatives as Civic Mission in Schools and We the People: Project Citizen, the Institute's partners in advancing active citizenship.
Georgia Studies
Teachers can inspire students' interest in Georgia studies with engaging instructional resources like The Georgia Studies Book: Our State and the Nation. The broad array of instructor support materials available makes the book fun and easy to teach, and in-service teacher training opportunities keep educators on top of curriculum requirements for the eighth-grade Georgia Studies course.
Spanish Initiative
In recognition of Georgia's growing Hispanic population, the Institute recently published a Spanish edition of its popular book An Introduction to Law in Georgia. The new text includes a special section on immigration law in addition to the topics covered in the English version. Law-related educational programs for adult immigrants have also been conducted.
Instructional Materials
From state-adopted textbooks to supplementary materials related to Georgia government, law, history, and geography, educators will find everything they need to support and enhance their teaching at the Institute's online store.
Web Resources
Both teachers and students can find information about all things Georgia at GeorgiaInfo and in the Georgia Studies Book section of this Web site.
