Abstract | Watersheds are exceptional examples of geographic regions. Existing at the interface between hydrosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere, they also function under human influences based on cultures, values, economics, and politics. This paper concerns educating future teachers about the geographic significance of watersheds in relation to sustainable water resources. The IDEAS project involves developing teacher-training modules that feature and stress multinational-multicultural understanding about water resource sustainability. Geography provides an excellent set of perspectives, knowledge, and skills for building an understanding of watersheds as critical environmental/geographic regions, and as complex systems involving interactions between natural processes and human activities. Curricula for precollegiate geography in the U.S. currently devote only modest inclusion to sustainability issues. However, geography curricula in many U.S. States continue to be influenced by the content of Geography for Life, the National Geography Standards (GESP, 1994), which offers many opportunities for the inclusion of sustainability factors and issues, both physical and human. Illustrating a direct set of links between sustainability issues to the National Standards is a reasonable strategy for infusing sustainability into geography instruction. (Orig.). |
