I'm a Teacher

As a teacher, you can explore the "On the Move" lesson for the state where you live or where you grew up. This lesson is useful from fourth grade through adult as a framework for a variety of historical, geographic, and scientific activities. Participants are always surprised to learn which cities have gained or lost population in relation to the current landscape. 

You can also use the ArcGIS Online Mapping Exercise and draw you own congressional district map following the online instructions. Alternatively, print out the State Redistricting Instructions to make the process easier to check off and reference. The instructions are in a word document and may be altered to suit your needs. 

You can review the background PowerPoint presentation and determine if any of the information is useful for your students. Lastly, consider introducing these materials to your colleagues through a professional development activity.
