On October 7, 2020,  Digitalachia Podcast hosted by Robert Brown of the Kentucky Valley Educational Cooperative (KVEC)) welcomed  Kim Sergent,  Social Studie Instructional Lead, of KVEC to discuss the partnership she initiated with National Geographic. 

 

National Geographic Education invited  K-3 teachers in the KVEC region to participate in an exciting and rigorous, job-embedded professional learning project focused on the instructional shifts in elementary social studies. This no-cost professional learning opportunity is aligned with Kentucky Social Studies standards and was designed with Kentucky Teachers in partnership with Kimberly Sergent, Social Studies Lead for KVEC. Through this year-long experience, we believe that elementary teachers will be better equipped to implement their state standards while engaging in high-quality teaching and learning experiences with their students.
