K-12 Global Education Outreach upcoming events
Region 17 ESC Social Studies Extravaganza
June 9-10
The Social Studies Extravaganza is an annual event designed to provide summer professional development opportunities for teachers throughout the region. K-12 GEO is proud to partner with both LISD and the Region 17 Service Center to provide our program offerings to teachers. Carolyn Darden, K-12 Lead Teacher, will present break-out sessions during both days of the conference. These sessions will highlight the K-12 program features offered at the ICC and in our “On the Road” series. In the past, this conference has been attended by well over 350 teachers from the South Plains, and we know that this year will be equally successful.
