Podcast: Making Geography Relevant in Our Schools

ESRI Education

This week our editors use study from the UK which notes "pupils' dissatisfaction with a geography curriculum which they perceive as irrelevant" as a starting point to explore academic geography and geospatial education trends. What works at different grade levels? Does keying in on career options make sense? Should there be a grade school subject of geography? The demands from students, employers and educators leave us optimistic.
