Transatlantic Outreach Program Germany Today: Virtual Speaker Series
Through a series of virtual speaker sessions, educators will explore themes revolving around the topic "Germany Today." The series will run through each academic year with five speakers each year. Topics will range from discussing American and German election systems to German baking to lesson demonstrations from our TOP alumni. This speaker series is intended for educators hoping to learn more about contemporary Germany and how they can implement new ideas and experiences into their classrooms.
TOP Alum, Kyle Tredinnick, led a hands-on presentation which guided participants through the process of "reading" a cultural landscape through a geographic perspective to gain insight into how photograph analysis can be further implemented into their own classrooms.
