And you\u2019re encouraged to do it \u2014 in sock feet, of course.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, National Geographic gave state-specific copies of maps \u2014 which stretch 16-by-20 feet \u2014 to all 50 states. As part of the Giant Traveling Map program, they then were sent across each state to various schools, mostly elementary but some middle and high.<\/p>\n<p>For the past couple of years, Charlotte Ellington, a graduate and adjunct professor in the UTC School of Education, has been in charge of coordinating the scheduling and shipping of the two copies of Tennessee\u2019s map.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey threw me this bone and said, \u2018Figure out what to do with it,\u2019\u201d Ellington says with a laugh.<\/p>\n<p>She figured it out pretty well. Her exemplary work at the task has earned her the 2018 Lottie and Alden Beverly Geography Teacher of the Year Award from the Tennessee Geographic Alliance.<\/p>\n<p>The alliance, part of the University of Tennessee College of Arts and Sciences, praised Ellington for the \u201cexceptional effort you have put into making the Tennessee Giant Traveling Map program such a success and how that has resulted in hundreds if not thousands of elementary-age students receiving geography instruction where they otherwise might not have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At any point in the year, the Tennessee maps usually are in a school somewhere with students poring over them, walking on them and learning from them. Along with the maps, lesson plans and discussion suggestions are sent, too.<\/p>\n<p>While the kids are impressed by the maps\u2019 sheer size, they\u2019re not the only ones, says Ellington, who graduated from UTC in 2003 with a master\u2019s in education. When she takes the maps to teacher workshops or conferences, adults are amazed, too.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You hear people when they first see it, they say, \u2018Oh wow!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ellington spent about 15 years as a teacher in private and public schools in the Chattanooga area, including Lakeside Elementary and Clifton Hills Elementary. Before retiring in 2016, she spent her last three years at Chattanooga Charter School for Excellence Middle School.\u00a0Her enthusiasm for a career in teaching can still be heard in her voice when she talks about it.<\/p>\n<p>The Lottie and Alden Beverly Geography Teacher of the Year Award comes with a $500 check and a plaque, both of which will be presented at the Tennessee Council for Social Studies annual conference in March.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charlotte Ellington, a graduate and adjunct professor in the UTC School of Education, has earned her the 2018 Lottie and Alden Beverly Geography Teacher of the Year Award from the Tennessee Geographic Alliance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2017\/12\/utc-school-education-graduate-earns-statewide-award-teaching-geography\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1105,"featured_media":20118,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[123864,56,7712,8244,64,8288],"tags":[70336,70337,70338,66],"class_list":{"0":"post-20104","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-advancement-and-alumni","8":"category-college-of-health-education-and-professional-studies","9":"category-faculty-and-staff","10":"category-honors-and-awards","11":"category-news","12":"category-school-of-education","13":"tag-charlotte-ellington","14":"tag-geography","15":"tag-map","16":"tag-tennessee","17":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
