GCU 671 • Foundation of best practice lesson bank
GCU 671 • Lots of lessons to select to critique & write assessments
GCU 671 • All grade levels

GCU 675 - World Geography for Teachers • Many teach world geography at different levels • Many interested in community college instruction (typically 24 units in the subject matter & masters) • This class goal is to analyze & start preparation for teaching World Geography at the community college level
What you do: • Analyze syllabi & turn in your own • Analyze ASU lectures • Pick 1 region & prepare EVERYTHING (powerpoints, student activities, test) needed to roll into the classroom • In the process, think differently about the way you teach regions in your classes
Summer/Fall classes • Do work over the summer (GCU 676, 677) and sign up as Fall semester class • Full semester Fall class (COE 501) • Combined to reduce costs (Az residents pay for 7, take 10)
Similar delivery & assessments to GCU 672/673 • Allow you to link geography & history, but with richness of regional geography
Recommend (not require) • Meinig - Shaping of America series
GCU 677 - Geography Across the Curriculum • Different assessments for elementary, MS social studies, HS social studies & Science • If you have a different teaching assignment, please bring this up & we can discuss the assessments that best fit your educational setting
Chance to link spatial thinking to key societal issues in what you teach
