With the help of the Center for Community Based Learning, Drs. Chelsea Teale and Amy Rock of the Geography Department facilitated lesson planning and school pairings for 50 students as part of Geography Awareness Week (November 13-17). Groups of future educators enrolled in GEOG 470, Geography for Teachers, took giant floor maps into nine K-12 schools to conduct interactive lessons including a “tour” of indigenous lands in Humboldt County, California’s climate and weather, Coronado’s quest for gold in the Southwest, the American Revolution, and the European theater of World War II.
