Why GeoLiteracy?
- To increase student achievement on
state-mandated tests
- To promote geographic education by linking
every geography performance objective to tested language arts skills
- To practice reading and writing skills
- To maximize classroom instruction time
- Lessons are research based, piloted with
diverse populations, and based on standards
