SUMMARY:Poster Session: Minnesota State University and the Founding of NCGE
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nThe National Council for Geographic Education (NCGE) was founded in 1915 by George J Miller and Cora Sletten\, both teacher educators at the then State Normal School in Mankato\, Minnesota (today Minnesota State University\, Mankato). Both taught Geography in the Social Science Division during their tenure in Mankato.\nWhile it was originally called the National Council for Geography Teachers (NCGT)\, the purpose of this new organization was to “increase the effectiveness of geography teaching in America.” It was not until 1956\, that NCGT changed its name to become the National Council for Geographic Education.\nOne of their main goals was to bridge the gap between the subject expertise of college professors and the pedagogical training and insights of K-12 teachers. Both Professors also believed that not all learning occurs in the classroom but actually viewed the whole world as a place for students to learn. Along with running some of the first national geographic education conferences and workshops\, Miller \nSession Focus\nAll Grade Levels |History | curriculum | Inquiry \nConference Room\nBanquet Level – Mezzanine Area \nThe Presenters\nDr. Kyle Ward started his career as a 7th-12th grade Social Studies teacher and taught in Minnesota and Indiana.  He has a master’s in History and his Ph.D. is in Curriculum and Instruction (emphasis Social Studies Education) from Indiana State University.  He currently serves as the Director of Social Studies Education at Minnesota State University. \nKaitlyn Zaske-Simning is a student in her final year at Minnesota State University-Mankato.
