This immersive, one-day workshop helps teachers bring Georgia history and economics to life by exploring the Port of Savannah as a powerful case study in how geography, culture, and economics shape historical change. Designed for middle and high school economics/social studies teachers, the workshop connects local history to state, national, and global narratives—showing students how economic activity influences people, communities, and civic life across time.

We’ll begin the day with a tour of the Port of Savannah (parking arrangements TBD), then return to Woodville-Tompkins High School for a post-tour debrief, lunch, guest speaker and lesson demos. Participants will engage with classroom-ready lessons that integrate primary sources, maps, cultural artifacts, and multimedia to examine the massive impact of Savannah’s deepwater port. 

Audience:  Teachers, Grades 6-12

Lunch, materials, and substitute reimbursement provided.
