Celebrate geography all year long. Join fellow educators for an engaging session exploring how geographic thinking can enrich learning across subjects. Discover connections to the National Geography Standards, explore a ready-to-use lesson featuring AAG resources, and collaborate with other educators to consider ways to bring geography into your classroom year-round. After the session, stay to connect with similar educators on how lessons and ideas can be used in their classrooms.

This session is intended for all geographers and educators interested in implementing geography topics and thought in their classrooms. Whether you’re a future educator, high school teacher, community college instructor, geographer, or teacher educator, participants will gain an understanding of geography, and practical ideas and resources for making geography meaningful, relevant, and engaging.
