Since everyone is now back in school, it is time for teachers to motivate their students to undertake an exciting geography project. The Alliance will provide the funding for students to work in teams to complete a research project on a geographic subject. Application forms are available upon request at the Geographic Alliance. The registration deadline for the Annual National Geographic Bee is October 15, 1999. Every State has an AP Specialist.
Next year is too late.
If we do not act on this great opportunity to get advanced geography into the highschools of the USA we will have lost another great opportunity to help our students and the future generation in becoming more geographically literate. It is time to get serious geography educators . Get a hold of your regional AP Representatives for the AP College Board and lets get this bandwagon going before it is too late. This AP geography course could be the most important opportunity since the standards. Let s get serious fast.
