The NCGE promotes the importance and value of geographic education, enhances the preparation of geographic educators with respect to their knowledge of content, techniques, and learning processes.

In the Classroom

Within the resources section is a collection of lesson plans and classroom activities that would be a boon to any teaching a cultural or physical geography class. A lot of the lessons could easily be pulled into a US or World history class, which is great since geography is something normally pulled into those topics through national standards of learning.
