Highlighting a brand new digital publication for students created by the Georgia Historical Society (GHS), this free webinar for K-12 parents and teachers will support and encourage student participation in the annual Georgia Day events including the Statewide Student Art Contest.

Each year, GHS creates digital publications for the Georgia History Festival that explore figures, topics, and themes from Georgia’s history. These resources are aligned to the Georgia Standards of Excellence and made available to students and educators through the Festival website.

Participants in this webinar will learn about “A Legacy of Leadership: Georgia’s Elected Officials.” Comprised of a unique digital resource, a primary source set, and a teacher guide, this new classroom resource bundle helps students understand how Georgia’s elected officials have demonstrated leadership qualities and executed their responsibility to govern. All resource elements are aligned to the Georgia Standards of Excellence.

Parents and educators are encouraged to utilize this resource to support K-12 student participation in annual Georgia Day events that take place each February including the statewide student art contest and the classroom banner competition.
