Map of the Month Contest

The TGA wants to see what maps you find the most helpful in your classroom. We will accept submissions that meet the following criteria:
  • Provide a restriction-free digital copy of the map.
  • Identify the standard(s) addressed using the map
  • Provide discussion questions used to engage students and possible responses
There will be ten contest winners with each receiving a $50 Amazon Gift Card. You will have until 9/30 to submit your entry. Only one entry per person. Consideration of geography's reach will be a factor in determining the winners. Submitted maps and student questions should be original.

 "How to Hide an Empire: A History of the Greater United States"​

The TGA is partnering with Primary Sources-MTSU and is happy to announce a virtual book club for this school year. The featured book will be "How to Hide an Empire: A History of the Greater United States" by  Daniel Immerwahr. Virtual Book Club will include two synchronous meetings (one per semester at 7 p.m ET/6 p.m. CT) and an online discussion thread using the TPS Teacher Network.
 
Participants may earn a stipend of up to $100 for their participation: $25 for each virtual meeting and $25 for posting at least twice on the online discussion threads for each half of the book. The book will be provided to the first fifteen applicants. A limited number of positions are available in the TPS-MTSU Virtual Book Club.
