SUMMARY:Citizenship\, Identity\, and Othering in the Nazi Camp System
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nThis session focuses on a chapter from the forthcoming book\, Teaching Holocaust Geographies in Middle and Secondary Schools. The camp system was the heart of Nazi terror and control\, and it played a dominant role in the systematic murder of millions of people. When war broke out in September 1939 and Nazi Germany began occupying countries\, the camp system grew and expanded into those occupied countries. The camps offer a unique way to examine citizenship\, identity\, and othering\, and to explore how those concepts informed prisoner experiences within the camps. Using geographic concepts to inform examinations of the camp system in classrooms allows students to critically examine the role of geographic and national identity\, the concept of othering and exclusion – both internal and external – in constructing national identity\, and how these identities came together in the microcosm of Nazi camps and influenced the experiences and chances of survival for those imprisoned in them. \nSession Focus\nSecondary/High School | World History | Holocaust\, Citizenship\, Identity \nConference Room\nNebraska \nMeet the Presenter\nLeah Rauch (she/her) is Director of Education at Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center\, where she is responsible for the oversight of all educational initiatives and programs related to educational curricula\, field trips\, leadership programs\, and teacher professional development offered by the Museum. She previously worked as an adjunct professor\, teaching Jewish-German history and Holocaust courses in Berlin\, where she also worked as an educator at Sachsenhausen Memorial and Museum. She has presented at international academic conferences in France\, Germany\, and the U.S.\, and has published articles in academic journals including The Journal for Holocaust Research. She recently co-authored a chapter in Teaching Holocaust Geographies in Middle and Secondary Schools. In 2024\, Rauch was appointed to serve on the Illinois Holocaust and Genocide Commission. \nAmanda Friedeman (she/her) is Associate Director of Education at Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center\, overseeing programming for the museum’s school-aged audiences\, including field trip content\, professional development offerings for educators\, and Make a Difference! The Harvey L. Miller Family Youth Exhibition. She also directs the Museum’s Speakers’ Bureau of Holocaust survivors and eyewitness and is a nationally-recognized expert on incorporating voices of the Second Generation into Holocaust education. Friedeman was historical consultant on Hour of Need: The Daring Escape of the Danish Jews during WWII\, winner of the 2023 Claus Deleuran Prisen; co-editor of Interrupted Lives: Nine Stories of Child Survivors of the Holocaust; co-author of a chapter in Teaching Holocaust Geographies in Middle and Secondary Schools; and author of “The Visitor as Ambassador and Conduit: Civic Wellness Programs at Illinois Holocaust Museum” (Journal of Museum Education\, 50.1\, 2025).

SUMMARY:The Student Atlas of Nebraska – Ten Years in Practice
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nThe creation of a dedicated student atlas for use in Nebraska elementary grade classrooms will be discussed. This teaching tool began with an initial 2016 limited edition and came to fruition with subsequent revised publications in 2017 and 2022. Mirroring efforts in recent years by several state geography organizations\, the process of starting an atlas project and continuing it through revised editions will be presented. From the beginning\, necessary consideration must be given to atlas format\, funding\, research\, deadlines\, and roll out. Focus groups involving elementary school teachers can identify state- specific subjects for emphasis. Buy-in from educators can be achieved via creation of ancillary materials (e.g.\, informational website\, teacher’s guide\, and lesson plans) to complement atlas use. \nSession Focus\nAll Grade Levels | Curriculum and Instruction | Atlas\, Mapping \nConference Room\nNebraska \nMeet the Presenter\n Dr. Randy Bertolas is professor of geography at Wayne State College in the rolling hills of northeast Nebraska. He has taught at WSC for 30 years and chaired the Department of History\, Politics\, and Geography for the past 17 of those years. From 2004-18 he served as coordinator of the Geographic Educators of Nebraska and in 2011-12 was president of Gamma Theta Upsilon\, the international honor society in geography.

SUMMARY:Food Geography
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nGiven the complexity of our world today\, it’s never too early to introduce students in the elementary grades to geographic thinking. While it’s not unusual for schools to include as part of their cultural programming an experience of “ethnic” foods\, the subject of food can be used in a more substantive way\, acquainting students with the concepts of place\, location\, space\, scale\, pattern and globalization. \nThis presentation will discuss how the celebration of foods and festivals can be taught in a more geographic way- from production to consumption-in conjunction with award winning picture books focused on the food cultures of East Asia\, plus teaching suggestions and resources. \nSession Focus\nEarly Childhood/Elementary | World/international | Foodways\, Asia\, Picture-books \nConference Room\nNebraska \nMeet the Presenter\nNancy Hope\, M.Ed.\, M.F.A.\, M.A.\, is the Executive Director of the Freeman Book Awards\, which recognizes quality literature for young adults and children in East and Southeast Asia. She lived in Japan for 8+ years\, first as a line officer in the United States Navy\, and then as a designer and dyer of kimono. Later as the Associate Director of the Kansas Consortium for Teaching about Asia\, she promoted international education at the K-12 level. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Journey Begins: Building a State Atlas for Iowa
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nState atlases are a tool to teach students about the social\, cultural\, and natural history and current affairs within the context of a state’s geography. Maps help students make richer connections to a subject by engaging students to connect events to an actual place. In 2024\, several members of the Geographic Alliance of Iowa (GAI) decided to create a state atlas for Iowa students. Their approach included enlisting the help of members of the Iowa GIS community from the Iowa Geographic Information Council (IGIC) to help gather data and make maps for the atlas. \nDuring this session\, you will hear from the Iowa Atlas team participants about this approach’s strengths and challenges. The Iowa Atlas team will share the vision for the Iowa Atlas\, our progress and hope for the future\, and how we are using the Iowa Atlas to build partnerships within the geographic and education communities. To finish our time together\, we would invite a discussion including seasoned state atlas creators to share their experiences\, and those interested in starting or updating a state atlas to join the conversation. \nSession Focus\nAll Grade Levels | State Atlas | Promote Geography through Partnerships | Shared Knowledge | Curriculum and Instruction \nConference Room\nNebraska \nMeet the Presenters\n\nThomas Larsen\, Assistant Professor of Geography\, University of Northern Iowa\n\nAmy Logan is a GIS Research Scientist at Iowa State University and the IowaView state coordinator\, an AmericaView remote sensing consortium affiliate. Her work spans various areas\, including geospatial education and outreach\, social science research\, digital storytelling\, and web app development. Amy has hosted workshops on integrating GIS technologies into the classroom. She is passionate about connecting people to GIS resources to improve their work or learning. \nRachel Hansen (she/her) is the K-12 Education Coordinator at the State Historical Society of Iowa.

SUMMARY:Empowering Geo-Inquiry: How the Science of Reading Can Strengthen  Secondary Student Participation
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nIn 2022\, our nation’s 8th graders scored at mere 29% proficient readers. 71% of our 8th grade students are below reading level and yet we know as Educators that a strong Geography based curriculum revolves around the ability for students to learn to independently access knowledge. Geo-Inquiry not only opens students to the possibilities of the World\, it allows them to think\ncritically about the knowledge they acquire both in and out of the classroom. But how can we expect our students to reach these levels with only 29% able to read at proficient levels in the 8th grade. Participants will be spurred to action with simple\, research based strategies that will teach them how to bring basic literacy skills into the Geography classroom. This session will introduce participants to Scarbourgh’s Reading Rope along with the Simple View of Reading. \nTogether the session leader and participants will engage with the basics of reading instruction focusing on how to build background knowledge\, vocabulary\, and literacy knowledge that will allow them to enhance their students reading skills during geography lessons\, resulting in students who are confident in their ability to read texts and maps for a greater understanding of how geography impacts their lives and those around them. This session will focus on participants to discuss\, analyze and determine how to enhance their lessons with the strategies presented in their own Geo-Inquiry lessons. \nEach participant will walk away with tips and tricks\, along with a Google drive folder of lesson plans designed by the presenter to guide them through the process of teaching students reading comprehension through geographical inquiry. \nSession Focus\nAll Grade Levels | Inquiry | Geo-Literacy\, Geo-Inquiry \nConference Room\nNebraska \nMeet the Presenters\nKendra Miller is an experienced educator\, curriculum designer\, and speaker based in Murfreesboro\, Tennessee. She has a strong background in teaching history at various levels\, from middle school to advanced placement\, and has also worked extensively in curriculum design. Kendra holds a Master’s in Curriculum and Instructional Design and is currently pursuing a PhD in Literacy Studies\, Literacy Instruction and Staff Development Concentration.She has received several awards for her research on improving reading in the content areas and is actively involved on the Executive Board for the Tennessee Council of Social Studies.  \n
