This implementation guide is based upon the themes, geographic concepts, and suggested learning outcomes contained in "Guidelines for Geographic Education: Elementary and Secondary Schools." The central themes for geographic education are: (1) location (position on the earth's surface); (2) place (physical and human characteristics); (3) relationships within places (humans and environments); (4) movement (humans interacting on the earth); and (5) regions (how they form and change). Resources are given for preparing daily lesson plans, curriculum guidelines, and resource materials. Key ideas and learning opportunities for each grade level are developed around the five themes. Each learning opportunity statement is designed to include various levels of thinking and to direct attention to the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of geographic education. The central focus progresses from the study of self in space in kindergarten to the study of world regions at the sixth grade. The document can be used to evaluate existing programs or to develop new ones. A list of selected terms in geographic education is included. (SM)
