This brief booklet provides a shorthand key to the national geography standards and related geography themes. The themes represent an instructional approach to give focus to a lesson. The standards comprise the geographic subject matter, skills, and perspectives of geography K-12. The five themes flow through the 18 geography standards and can be used in the instruction of all of them at any grade level. Sample classroom strategies for instruction in the standards for grades 4, 8, and 12 are included. This guide provides a quick overview of the geography standards with sample indicators for performance. (EH)
