| Abstract | Geography faces stiff curricular competition from the continuing emphasis of policy makers on the three R's and science. In many places, this competition seems to have squeezed out any systematic attention to geography or the other social studies, particularly in elementary school. What's more, it doesn't look like things are going to turn around anytime soon. In this article, the author proposes one step that may help improve school geography: meaningfully integrate the subject into the teaching of American history, which enjoys a secure place in school programs. This step may do more to ensure that solid attention is paid to geography than the patchwork of reforms of the past few decades, which have varied in their intrinsic worth, breadth of dissemination, and effectiveness of implementation. In addition to creating a new space for geography, this approach offers an educational bonus: enriching the meaning of American history. (ERIC). |
