Moose on the Loose Professional Development: Geography and New Hampshire History

The New Hampshire Historical Society presents a professional development opportunity focusing on linking the geography of our small state with its history. This two-day workshop will cover the physical features of the Granite State and how they both affected and we affected by the human features that developed over centuries.

How does where you live impact how you live? New Hampshire is the fifth smallest state in the country, only 9,351 square miles, but boasts physical features of all kinds including abundant mountains and forests, 18-miles of coastline, and many waterways like lakes, ponds, and rivers that have provided resources and transportation for generations of inhabitants. This workshop will use “Moose on the Loose,” especially Unit 1: New Hampshire Geography, to offer ideas for classroom instruction and project-based learning for students, especially in grades 3-8, to learn about the land we call home.

Breakfast and lunch are included. Attendees will receive a $100 Target gift card and CEU credits for the one-day workshop, as well as additional CEU credits for any pre-training work they complete. Please note: participants of this workshop must be public or private school educators in New Hampshire.
