Overview
Pre-service learning experiences and preparation are key to the way geography is taught now and in the future. We want to hear more about what is happening in the field and identify ways that NCGE can better support geography education in partnership with methods instructors.
The goal of the conversation is to share best practices and accessible resources and to identify trends, opportunities, and needs. What texts, resources, and learning experiences have methods instructors found to be most useful? What prior knowledge, questions, and interests do pre-service teachers have that creates opportunities or challenges in preparing them to teach geography? What kinds of resources would be helpful to have available in a methods course? How does geography fit into your overall approach to preparing teachers to teach all of the social studies disciplines?
