Geography occupies a much larger role in the new South Carolina Social Studies College- and Career-Ready Standards than it did in past standards. In the standards for seventh grade and for high school human geography, the primary focus is geography. In history, economics, and government classes, geography is built into the key themes of the class calling for an integrated approach to social studies education.

Regardless of how geography appears, all social studies classes will be examining the ways in which the five themes of geography (location, place, human-environment interaction, movement, and region) are essential to understanding our world and will be exploring the ways in which the tools and skills of geographers are useful in our daily lives. This session will provide an introduction into these five themes followed by an examination of the new standards to help teachers identify ways to incorporate more geographic skills into their classes. Participants will then explore online resources that allow students to practices the skills of geographers so that they can understand their world better.
