SUMMARY:International Efforts to Improve Geography Teaching and Learning
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nThis presentation focuses on an upcoming book – International Perspectives on Geography Education (Edward Elgar\, 2026) – that highlights the actions taken by geography educators who work to improve the teaching and learning of geographic content. Much that is published in geography education today is pessimistic and bemoans the status of the discipline compared to other academic areas\, the difficulty in training quality geography teachers\, and the poor performance of students with the subject’s content and skills (such as map reading\, analysis\, and construction). While these challenges are certainly present\, this book seeks to highlight the successes seen in three main areas: student learning\, teacher preparation\, and teacher professional development. The book is\, therefore\, one that is positive\, optimistic\, and showcases for the reader actions that are worth emulating in other places. The presenter will share the successes of authors representing Australia\, Belize\, Brazil\, Chile\, Czechia\, Germany\, South Africa\, Singapore\, and the United States \nSession Focus\nHigher Education | Geography for Life | World/International  \nConference Room\nHalsey Family Hall \nMeet the Presenters\nJerry Mitchell is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Geography at the University of South Carolina.
