   Introduction to GEOGRAPHY                                                 

  Importance of geo-literacy:

Geography explains the past, illuminates the present, and prepares us for the future. The study of geography is more than just memorizing places on a map. It's about understanding the complexity of our world, appreciating the diversity of cultures that exists across continents. And in the end, it's about using all that knowledge to help bridge divides and bring people together while making the world a better place.

Course-Introduction to Geography:

The Introdution to Geography framework requires that student learning focus on understanding the systems and processes that produce the features and patterns that lie on Earth's surface and appear on maps and globes. Identification of map features and place locations carries little value unless it facilitates student learning of these underlying systems and processes. The primary purpose of the course is to build systematic understanding of how Earth's physical and human geography came to be and continues to evolve.

Teaching Mission:

to teach students about the world and how it works, empowering them to succeed and to make it a better place.
