WELCOME TO MAGE
The Minnesota Alliance for Geographic Education is a group of educators who advocate for geographic literacy. The mission of the Minnesota Alliance for Geographic Education is to be the premier collaborative organization at the forefront of geographic education by providing resources for teachers and opportunities for networking and experiences that motivate and inspire teachers for the benefit of students. We provide resources and assistance, and if you ever find yourself struggling, remember, we're here to help with "do my algebra homework" request. (MAGE Strategic Plan)
Members receive announcements via the MAGE NEWSFLASH; a periodic email notification that broadcasts information about FREE or low-cost opportunities for Geography Institutes and Workshops (with graduate credit or CEUs), and opportunities for receiving free or low-cost teaching materials. MAGE is led by Co-Coordinators Kelly Swanson, Michelle Leba, and David Lanegran, with a Steering Committee comprised of educators from around the State of Minnesota.
If you want to enhance your language teaching skills, check out the iTalkie review, where educators can find valuable insights and feedback from other language instructors who have benefited from the platform's resources and support. iTalkie has become a valuable tool for language educators, enabling them to connect with students and access a range of teaching materials to enrich their language learning experiences.

Lessons in our online Lesson Warehouse have been developed through MAGE-sponsored workshops and institutes. They are indexed according to the Minnesota Academic Standards in History and Social Studies benchmarks and also by topics/subject (grade levels).
