Each year the South Carolina Geographic Alliance sponsors an Alliance Summer Geography Institute at the University of South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina. The Institute is a one‐week training program intended to increase teachers’ knowledge of geography, introduce teachers to new teaching techniques and materials, and help them develop skills in presenting in‐service workshops to other teachers. All K‐ 12 teachers, pre-service students, and those involved with K‐12 education outreach are invited to apply.
