Partnerships Help Expand Social Studies & Civics in Alabama

The ALSDE / A+ College Ready Social Studies and Civics Initiative is partnering with a number of public and private organizations around the state to expand and promote the social studies, humanities, and civic participation.

An organization that has long supported Alabama Social Studies has been Alabama Public Television (APTV) – visit their website at  http://www.aptv.org/ to see the kinds of resources they have to offer.

Three items of note that pertain directly to Alabama teachers and students are the Young Heroes Scholarship opportunity, the Fund for Teachers Grant Program, and the American Graduate Champion program, all of which are accessible from their home page.

These are outstanding opportunities to further your professional development and also to recognize truly deserving students. The application process for each is brief and our Social Studies Development Teams will assist you if needed in the process.
