New Normal:•Alliances will be self directed•Network will function like a network
Geo-Education Initiative•Two obstacles in promoting geography
1) Geography defined in schools is too narrow.
2) Discipline by itself can’t capture sufficient attention in cacophony of education reform.
Geo-Education Initiative•The Solution
1) Broader definition of geography, more like that of geo-literacy.
2) Geo-education is the combination of school subject and out of school experiences.
Social Studies + Sciences + Humanities
Geo-Education Initiative•The Solution
3) Like STEM and 21st Century Skills, Geo-Education is a large, cross-cutting approach.
4) Create opportunities to bridge individual disciplines. “Join forces” for learning about complex topics without sacrificing individual discipline identities.
5) Directly respond to real world challenges.
