SUMMARY:Importance of Narratives: Incorporating AAPI Voices into the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nAccording to the Pew Research Center\, the Asian population in the United States nearly doubled from 2000 to 2019 and yet only about 24% of those surveyed felt well informed about AAPI history in this country. Many cite the internet or social media being the primary platform of information. Without a doubt\, there is a need for more education on AAPI history in this country. This session will highlight the multiplicity and heterogeneity of “Asian American” as a social and political category through the use of maps. The maps will include specific information about populations identified as Indian\, Filipino\, Japanese\, Korean\, and Vietnamese and how the geographic clustering of these groups changed over time as a result of social\, economic\, or political forces. The workshop will also incorporate use of the Galtung Triangle to provide educators a framework of how to discuss injustices that may occur over time. \nAudience Focus\nMiddle School\, High School\, Advanced Placement\, Higher Education \nMeet the Presenter\nJeanne Shin-Cooper has been a public high school educator for twenty years. Over the course of her career\, she has taught multiple disciplines in the social sciences in addition to work within the field of EL.

SUMMARY:Climate & Community: How Local Knowledge and Power Asymmetries Influence Climate Adaptations in Sudan and the American Southwest
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nMany communities across the globe are facing severe disruptions from climate-change. Large-scale projects like solar farms and seawalls often dominate the headlines\, but bottom-up\, community-based adaptations to climate emergencies are just as critical. Local mobilizations drawing on traditional knowledge and bonds of solidarity can help populations across the globe to mitigate the harsh consequences of climate change. Drawing on their research in Sudan and in the American Southwest\, these scholars examine how power relations\, local knowledge\, communal ties\, and legacies of violence shape and inform responses to climate emergencies. \nAudience Focus\nAll grade levels \nMeet the Presenter\nMalathe Ahmed\, Ph.D.\, will shed light on the traditional flood management system used by the community of Tuti Island in Khartoum\, Sudan\, known as the Taya system. This traditional approach plays a crucial role in minimizing vulnerabilities and enhancing the community’s ability to manage the impacts of climate change\, as well as to cope with other crises\, including armed conflict. \nLucas Belury will focus on the Rio Grande Valley at the southern tip of the Texas-Mexico border. The Rio Grande Valley is a cultural heartland that contains thousands of informal colonia communities vulnerable to flooding. This presentation will explore how colonia communities come together to survive through collaboration\, neighborliness\, and generosity. \nAccess the Webinar\n#Open access | Join Webinar Here \nNot yet a member?  More info and Join today!

SUMMARY:Experiential Learning
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nIn this webinar we will travel through time and understanding to examine the ideas of Experiential Learning: What is it? Who defined it? Where do I find it? How do I apply it in my teaching? We will examine two examples that the speaker has been involved in and how they might help you develop Experiential Learning in your classrooms. The speaker will share a little bit about his two books on Experiential Learning in Geography\, and finally we wrap things up with a Q/A time. \nAudience Focus\nAll Grade Levels \nMeet the Presenter\n \nJonathan Wessell\nGrand Valley State University\nMA in Geography\, Western Michigan University \n  \nJonathan Wessell is an instructor of Geography for the past 26 years. He is currently at Grand Valley State University and Glen Oaks Community College in Michigan. Mr. Wessell has been actively involved over the past 12 years with the AAG and served his colleagues for a decade in the Geography Education Specialty Group on the executive committee for the past 8 years. He was active in starting a poster competition and advanced the connection with AP Human Geography teacher by providing a day long PD opportunity during the AAG Annual Meetings. For several years he has remained active in chairing sessions on professional development in Geography and Experiential Learning in Geography. These activities have led Mr. Wessell to being the Chief editor of two books with his colleagues on Experiential Learning in Geography (2021 and 2025). Mr. Wessell has also served as a reviewer for the journals: Professional Geographer and The Geography Teacher. Recently\, He was elected to the Board of Directors foe NCGE\, and is currently working on a Young Scholar Research Symposium. Mr. Wessell plans to continue his research efforts in Experiential Learning and his work with pre-service teachers. He will do this through teaching and leading experiential opportunities around the world. \nAccess the Webinar\n#member only access | Join Webinar Here \nNot yet a member?  More info and Join today!
