Consider how geography educators can lead the way in defining and delivering high-quality learning experiences.
In this Education Week article, “What Makes Curriculum ‘High-Quality’?”, Sarah Schwartz explores how educators and researchers define high-quality instructional materials—and why there’s often no clear agreement.
For geography educators, this conversation is especially important. From selecting standards-aligned content to ensuring real-world relevance, understanding what makes materials effective can elevate both classroom engagement and student outcomes.
Discover the World with NCGE! New Global Learning Opportunities Await!
We invite you to share any open-source resource you believe would be a valuable tool for geography educators — whether it’s a lesson plan, article, activity, website, or map.
The resource doesn’t need to be something you created yourself — it only needs to be freely accessible for educators to use, access, and share.
Your submission will help build a rich, thoughtfully curated repository of resources that educators across the country can incorporate into their classrooms. Join us in strengthening our community’s collective knowledge and advancing geography education nationwide!
