Abstract for the conference program
The Georgia Geographic Alliance (GGA) is a non-profit organization of individuals dedicated to enhancing geographic education. Our objectives include a specific focus on place-based learning and activities in K-12 that emphasize the interactions between human and natural systems. We aim to provide professional development opportunities and curriculum-focused educational resources for individuals interested in using geography as a foundation for learning across disciplines, particularly in cultivating interdisciplinary linkages in STEM fields. Examples of previous and upcoming events sponsored by the GGA will be featured in this poster as we strive to increase opportunities for K-12 learning in STEM disciplines through place-based approaches.
