GeoCircle: Strategies for Teaching Geographic Content and Vocabulary

September 17, 2024 @ 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM EDT

About the Facilitators

Michelle Hamann is a Social Studies teacher in Ridgefield, Washington. Ridgefield is one of the fastest growing cities in Washington state and quickly transitioning from a rural community to a suburb of Portland, Oregon, which gives her lots of opportunity to teach Human Geography just looking out of her classroom window. She is part of a family of geography nerds who most actively express that by visiting major and minor league baseball parks around the United States.With over

27 years of dedicated service in secondary education, Maribel Vélez Ramos brings a wealth of experience to the classroom. Ms. Vélez’s teaching philosophy centers on hands-on, project-based learning (PBL), placing students at the forefront of their educational journey. She believes in creating immersive learning experiences, including educational field trips to historical sites, to foster a deeper understanding of the subject matter. She also has six years of experience teaching World Geography in a Dual Language program, where she empowers bilingual students with a deep, contextual understanding of the subject.
