The Teacher’s Guide to
Modern Geography includes instructional and resource materials designed
to improve the preparation of teachers to teach geography. TGMG resources
offer faculty members, preservice education students, and inservice teachers
the opportunity to learn geography as well as how to teach it conceptually.

CD containing geography lessons and teacher’s notes that use an
inquiry-based approach to instruction using geographic questions. Examples
include: "How did the terrain around Harper's Ferry influence the
outcome of the Civil War?" and "How can we estimate the local
consequences of global climate change for a specific part of the world?"
- Set of overhead transparency
masters promoting spatial thinking skills
