SUMMARY:Reawakening the Stealth Geography Approach in a Persistent Battleground: Elementary Education
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nIn the early 2000s\, integrating geography and literacy at the elementary level garnered attention (Gandy\, 2006; Holloway\, 2015) in the wake of NCLB and the College and Career Readiness Standards. The need for such calls further intensified in the wake of recent nationwide science of reading initiatives and persistent standardized testing. Consequently\, elementary teachers’ time constraints further marginalize elementary-level geography. As a result\, a stealth approach that integrates Geography with literacy is required to provide meaningful geography instruction in elementary grades (Sekeres & Gregg\, 2008). As noted in the Road Map for 21st Century Geography Education\, “Geography should be taught wherever it is found – whether in math\, science\, social studies\, literature\, technology\, or the arts” (Bednarz et al. 2013\, p. 10) \nThis presentation will provide a threefold approach to address marginalization in elementary-level geography. First\, reviewing previous scholarly advances in integrating geography and children’s literature offers a clear way forward. Second\, examples of effective integration of literature with the Geography for Life Six Essential Elements will be demonstrated. Third\, participants will receive an introductory list of elementary geography children’s books and additional resources to empower teachers and teacher educators to integrate elementary geography into quality children’s literature. \nSession Focus\nEarly Childhood/Elementary | Geography for Life | Literacy \nConference Room\nByrd \nMeet the Presenter\nJayson Evaniuck \n
