This Nation needs more and better geographic education, and it needs            teachers and systems well prepared to deliver that education.  This             Leadership Activities Project responds to these needs.  Intensive summer        workshops will offer the development of special skills for school               district teams consisting of curriculum specialists, master geography           teachers, and inexperienced geography teachers.  These teams will               design, pilot, and evaluate instructional materials that are based upon         the most recent developments in geography education. Subsequently, the          teams will meet throughout the academic year in special workshops and           the staff of the project will visit the participating school districts,         visiting classrooms and providing support to the local team members. In         the process, teaching modules, syllabi, and in-service geography teacher        education programs will be developed, used in school classrooms with            students, and evaluated.  These programs will be based upon the                 Guideline for Geographic Education prepared by the Association of               American Geographers and the National Council for Geographic Education          in 1984.  Both the instructional materials and the teacher education            models will be evaluated throughout this project.                                                                                                               This project builds upon an NSF-supported project that was successfully         conducted in the summer of 1985.  This two-year project will work with          larger numbers of participants, ultimately reaching 30 middle/junior            high school teachers and 60 high school teachers.  The project will             create a Great Plains-Rocky Mountain network that is linked to the              Geographic Education National Implementation Project.  It will                  contribute to the growth of a regional network of geography educators           who will motivate, support, and learn from each other. School districts         will share some of the support costs.
