The Delta State University Delta Center for Culture and Learning will offer a two week workshop for K-12 teachers across the State entitled  “The Three R’s of the Mississippi Delta:  Roads, Rivers and Railways,” May 26 through June 5.<\/font> <\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n
Participants will learn about the physical and cultural geography of the Delta.  They will take a short ride on the Illinois Central Railroad, board a working towboat on the Mississippi River, and travel Highway 61 to Memphis. <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Drs. Mark Bonta and Luther Brown will facilitate the workshop, and guest lecturers, Levee Boards, agricultural research centers, local farmers, Blues performers, and museums will present additional learning opportunities.  <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The workshop will accommodate 40 teachers who will come from private and public schools throughout Mississippi.  Participants can also receive six graduate credit hours.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
This is the third time that this workshop has been offered with support from the Mississippi Geographic Alliance, with additional support from the Yazoo-Mississippi Delta Levee Board.  <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Participants will receive a stipend of $58 per day and will need to stay in Cleveland, or very nearby, due to the length of daily activities.  <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
