SUMMARY:Poster Session: Tales & Travels: First Chapter Friday
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nOne of my many passions in life is reading so I wanted to incorporate books into my curriculum; First Chapter Friday was born through this vision. FCF is when I read the first chapter of a new book that has a setting in the region we are currently studying in World Geography class. I’m growing my classroom library and introducing books and reading to my students weekly. Not only am I reading more\, but my students are reading more too\, while we study the world. When I started this\, my goal was to foster their interest in reading and further the goal of inclusivity in my classroom. By using these First Chapter Friday encompasses middle grade fiction and nonfiction\, as well as children’s literature\, into the seventh grade World Geography course. The year-long course includes a study of six major world regions\, along with skill building for research\, writing\, and project-based learning. Each week has a different read\, and the books are preassigned. \nConference Room:\nPalm Ballroom Pre-function Area \nMeet the Presenter\nKelly Zander Patterson\, is in her tenth year of teaching at Charlotte Country Day School\, however she has been teaching for a total of thirteen years.

SUMMARY:Poster Session: Unveiling Geographical Dynamics of California Coastal Bottlenose Dolphins: A Multifaceted Exploration
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nMarine biological research provides a rich source of opportunities for the development of geographical and related STEM education activities for pre-K to adult learners. In this poster\, the geographic perspective is focused upon research about the California coastal bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus)\, a common cetacean species in very nearshore Pacific waters off northern Baja\, California\, Mexico\, and the Western US coast. Research on “the coasties” conducted across nearly 45 years provides an abundance of field data and experiences\, as well as numerous academic and peer-reviewed documents\, reports\, images\, and summaries; and\, most importantly\, there is a rich source of geographical narrative available in this work that can provoke curiosity and interest in a wide range of audiences. Here\, we summarize and highlight interesting aspects of the coasties’ geographical narrative\, and its meaning and inspiration for further important research\, conservation\, and geographic educational activities. \nConference Room:\nPalm Ballroom Pre-function Area \nMeet the Presenter\nAlex G. Kesaris\, B.S.\, M.A.\, GISP\, is a volunteer educator who loves presenting geographic knowledge through narratives about the research with which he is most familiar. He has conducted field research from shore\, small boats\, ships\, and aircraft with scientists from SDSU\, UCSD SIO\, NOAA\, and CDFW. Along the way\, he developed and delivered educational activities\, posters\, presentations\, technical memoranda\, and peer-reviewed publications for diverse audiences. For the past 12 years\, Alex has\nprovided GIS services with Sustenant\, CDFW\, GISinc\, Axim Geospatial\, and NV5 Geospatial.

SUMMARY:Poster Session: The Forgotten Art: Why Retrieval Practice of Geographical Facts is Essential to Lowering Cognitive
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThe study of Geography is a key component to understanding the World\, developing Global Citizenship along with Cultural Awareness and promoting Critical Thinking Skills; however\, Educators across America have often forgotten the foundation for this level of understanding begins at the bottom of Bloom’s Taxonomy: Recall of facts and basic concepts (Mcdaniel\, R.\,1970). For a period of time\, many have tried to suggest that memorization is no longer necessary with the rise of the internet (Heffernen\, 2017) but research has shown this is a baseless claim (Agarwal\, P. K.\, & Bain\, P. M. 2019) and (Deshler\, D.\, Schumaker\, J.\, Bulgren\, J.\, Lenz\, K.\, Jantzen\, J.\, Adams\, G.\, Carnine\, D.\, Grossen\, B.\, Davis\, B.\, & Marquis\, J.\, 2001). Furthermore as the Researcher will present this belief is harmful to students due to the rising Cognitive Load experienced by students in learning environments. The Researcher conducted a year-long study with her Social Studies middle school students and the Science department at Indepentant* School to show how the memorization of facts via retrieval practice is not only a viable solution to lowering Cognitive Load in the classroom\, it is essential for educators to use these practices to strengthen their students’ schema\, transfer knowledge and build cognitive flexibility in the Social Studies classroom\, allowing students to have greater understanding of the World\, become Global Citizens\, build Cultural Awareness as well as Critical Thinking skills. \nConference Room:\nPalm Ballroom Pre-function Area \nPresenter\nKendra Miller

SUMMARY:Poster Session: Teachers Collaborating Across Borders: Connecting Teachers and Students
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nSince 2020\, the Teachers Collaborating Across Borders (TCAB) program has connected 20 K-12 teachers and their students in the US with 20 counterparts across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) each year for joint virtual exchange projects. Participants can teach any subject or grade\, and are chosen from a range of schools and communities: urban\, suburban\, and rural\, diverse and culturally monolithic\, from Title 1 schools to fancy New York private schools. MENA teachers are chosen from as many countries as possible\, and from diverse communities within each country when possible. During the fall semester\, teachers from the US and across the Middle East and North Africa create group presentations together to learn about each others’ school cultures and educational systems. In the second semester\, the teachers put themselves into groups and plan international projects for their students to do together virtually\, with age-appropriate activities and connections. At the end of the year\, the whole group comes together again to share their projects. TCAB is led by outreach professionals from the University of Arizona’s Center for Middle Eastern Studies and the North Carolina Consortium for Middle East Studies. The application period takes place annually in the spring. \nConference Room:\nPalm Ballroom Pre-function Area \nPresenter\nAbigail Limmer
