Top-notch teachers will demonstrate how to teach the California local community history—including geography of the local region, the culture of the Gabrielino Indians, the daily life and economic legacy of the local ranchos, the development of the harbor, local government, and the community. Participants will each receive instructional materials kit with model lessons, maps, primary source materials, and literature books.

This Geography Awareness Week workshop will begin with a lecture on migration to the U.S. from Latin America. Lessons from the Geography Action! packet will then be introduced. The session will conclude with guided tours of four Latin-American art exhibits at the Fowler Museum.

This workshop also includes registration to attend the October 24th Arizona Council for the Social Studies Annual Fall Conference. Participants will also receive a curriculum kit to be shared within their district and an honorarium to assist with travel and food. Social studies or science curriculum coordinators and teachers in grades 6–12 interested in the cultural history of Arizona or the archaeological process, should consider attending this one-day People, Place, and Time training.

People, Place, and Time (PP&T) is an interdisciplinary curriculum for grades 6–12. The activities and lessons are inquiry-based, focusing on social studies, science, and language arts. The curriculum and accompanying materials are presented in a kit format and include the teacher's guide, two interactive "game boards," a video, and basic research sources. All of the activities have been aligned to the Arizona Department of Education Standards for the applicable subject areas. The curriculum contains two units of study—the Cultural Landscape and Cultural Resources Management (CRM) Archaeology. The time required to implement this unit will vary, depending on the classroom structure and depth of student research. The entire curriculum can be covered in one to two 9-week terms.

Unit 1 is the Cultural Landscape. In this unit, students explore the environmental niches of the Sonoran Desert, from the cactus-covered lowlands to the conifer-crested mountains, without ever leaving the classroom. They discover resources and experiment with the development of products from those resources. They envision life as the Hohokam peoples lived it 1,000 years ago—traveling, trading, and manufacturing the tools and foods necessary for survivalᾹin this harsh but bountiful environment. The Cultural Landscape unit may be taught as a standalone unit.

The second unit, CRM Archaeology, introduces students to the discovery of a past culture through scientific investigation. Students play the role of the entrepreneurs and archaeologists who create an archaeological consulting business, bid on a contract to do an archaeological study, and investigate a site. They use statistics to analyze the findings, synthesize the results, draw conclusions, and present their findings about the past. Students must complete the activities in the Cultural Landscape unit prior to beginning the CRM unit.

PP&T kits are distributed through regional training workshops and summer institutes. It is hoped that the remaining kits will be distributed during the ACSS workshops. One to two representatives from each district are encouraged to participate in this training. Training is open to all sixth through 12th grade teachers, but only one participant per district will become the "Keeper of the Kit." Keepers will make the kit available to educators within their district and make sure that the kit contents are intact.

The one-day workshop will include background information on the history of the project, an introduction to archaeology and to the cultural history of Arizona, hands-on experimentation with activities, and the development of a plan for use and distribution of the materials in each school district.

Parkin State Park interpreters are continually developing new and exciting educational programs for groups who visit Parkin Archeological State Park and nearby Village Creek State Park. Teachers spend the day exploring these two sites by participating in educational programs and activities and earn 6 in-service credit hours. Each teacher will receive information packets on the resources available for teacher and classrooms.
