Telling The Story of Your Place

C-GEO, in partnership with the Alder Creek Community Forest, continues to recruit educators interested in learning more about the ‘Telling the Story of your Place’ (SoYP) -- a new statewide K-12 geography education curriculum which follows the broad approach of inquiry-based learning, as applied via the National Geographic Society’s Geo-Inquiry model and focusing on the concept of place. SoYP can connect to, and integrate, a variety of K-12 subjects and applies to a wide range of learning standards. Teachers in the natural sciences, social sciences, English language arts, mathematics, and physical education will find benefit from participating. For more information, see our Online Materials for Telling the Story of Your Place. If you would like to use this curriculum or want to learn more, please reach out to Devin Hunt (Devin.Hunt@susd.k12.or.us) or Nancee Hunter (nhunter@pdx.edu).
