The Pennsylvania Geographic Alliance workshop program offers a variety of content topics and related strategies for the classroom. Materials distributed in workshops have been selected because they exemplify effective strategies for improving student achievement. The five fundamental geography themes are location, place, human-environmental interaction, movement and region.
Participants receive selected materials during each workshop to take back to their classrooms.
This book was produced cooperatively by the Association of American Geographers, the American Geographical Society, the National Council for Geographic Education, and the National Geographic Society. It provides the most recent thinking on geography subject matter for K-12. GFL identifies content, skills, perspectives, and exemplary learning opportunities for primary, middle school, and high school levels. The Alliance will offer workshops on strategies to begin the implementation of GFL content into the classroom. Requests for these workshops should be made directly to the Allaince office.
