Teacher Resource Forum | Utilizing Historic Sites in Curriculum Planning
Participation is free, but registration is required.
Mann-Simons Site : 1403 Richland Street, Columbia, SC 29201
Historic Columbia’s Teacher Resource Forum will reintroduce our many resources to educators across Richland and Lexington counties and invite their input on our current offerings. In the face of ongoing challenges to inclusive social studies and history, Historic Columbia plans to ensure that teachers and students still have access to the full, often complex story of South Carolina. Historic Columbia will provide a tour, followed by a short presentation and feedback session with light refreshments.
We value your time and expertise. Thanks to the generous support of Palmetto Citizens Federal Credit Union, each teacher who participates in the forum will receive a $50 stipend.
This forum is open to teachers of grade 5 (elementary). Teachers of grades 8 and 10 can sign up for the middle and high school session.
