Geography Action! is an annual conservation and awareness program designed by the National Geographic Education Foundation to educate and excite people about our natural, cultural, and historical treasures. This year, the five-year, round-the-world curriculum series focuses on “Mapping the Americas,” emphasizing the regional and cultural geography of the Americas and promoting geographic fluency in our schools. National Geography Awareness Week, held November 6-15, 2008, is an excellent opportunity to join Geography Action! in promoting geographic literacy and host your own schoolwide geography event! The Connecticut Geographic Alliance, in conjunction with National Geographic’s education programs, have educational resource toolkits for teachers and parents and will have them available at the Geography Action! Kickoff Event on October 30 at Yale University. Past speakers have included Ambassador of Indonesia Sudjadnan Parnohadiningrat, Mia Farrow and Clay Aiken and the program this year will be just as exciting! The theme of “Mapping the Americas” connects well to both social studies and science curricula and educators are encouraged to attend the Kickoff Event with other teachers from their schools. For additional information about this year’s Geography Action! theme, planning school events, or the CGA annual Kickoff Event, you may contact Laura Krenicki, Connecticut’s Geography Action! Coordinator ay krenickilaura@yaoo.com.
