Geography Instruction in the K-12 Classroom: Combining Powerful Disciplinary Knowledge with Inquiry-based Instruction 05/02/2019 8:30 am - 3:30 pm 8:00 - 8:30: Registration and Continental Breakfast
Taking California's grade-level standards and the instructional shifts called for in the new H-SS Framework as our point of departure, we will explore best practices and useful resources for providing students a crucially important grounding in the discipline of geography.
The workshop will explain why geography is both engaging and enlightening (with regard to all history and social science subjects), give participants practice in thinking like a geographer, and then provide teachers with resources to help them effectively support their students in geographic thinking at all grade levels and in any course (not just geography!).
