In this workshop, supply and demand meets historical sight and sound! Crossroads is an immersive, interdisciplinary workshop for high school economics and U.S. history teachers who want to spark deeper connections through the power of music.
You’ll get dynamic resources to help you teach topics like Civil Rights, the Great Migration, fiscal policy, budgeting, unemployment, economic inequality and many more using Library of Congress primary sources and fresh, ready-to-teach lessons developed by the Georgia Council on Economic Education (GCEE).
At select locations, feature presenters from The Federal Rerserve Bank of Atlanta and TeachRock will take the stage to share innovative, arts-based teaching strategies from their nationally recognized materials. Their partnership is central to the Crossroads experience, and all participants will walk away with curated resources tailored to economics and U.S. history classrooms.
Teachers will leave with new classroom-ready lessons, teaching tools, and ideas for making their content sing—literally. Additionally, four lucky teachers at each location will walk away with a $100.00 stipend for classroom supplies (via random drawing)!
