GEO 1210 - Geography for Teachers

1 cr

This pedagogy lab is designed to introduce prospective teachers to the ways in which geography may be integrated into the teaching of social studies. Students will become familiar with state and national geography standards and understand how to apply those standards to social-studies education. Ultimately, students will concentrate their attention on one region, create a series of short level-appropriate teaching strategies and lesson plans about that region, present short lessons to their peers, and reflect on in-class teaching experiences.
Prerequisite: Must be enrolled in or already have taken GEO 1060 (Fundamentals of Geography) or GEO 2020 (World Regional Geography) or permission of instructor.
