It's not enough to know geography, students must also do geography. One way students can do geography is through the National Geographic Geo-Inquiry process.

The National Geographic Geo-Inquiry process gets at the heart of geographic thinking as students investigate a community issue. During this process students engage in five steps: Ask, Collect, Visualize, Create, and Act. This is a type of project based learning, but the final step requires students to make a call to action to a targeted audience that can affect change.

To register for a free online course to learn more about the Geo-Inquiry process and to access the free Educator Guide and Student Resource Packet go to https://www.nationalgeographic.org/education/programs/geo-inquiry/Links to an external site.

Thirteen Salt Lake City School District teachers from various content areas participated in a cohort as they learned about, planned for, and implemented the Geo-Inquiry process with their students. As a cohort they participated in professional development that allowed them to collaborate, brainstorm, and problem solve as they made the shift from planning for the known to planning for the unknown.

This section provides materials used to support teachers as they implement the National Geographic Geo-Inquiry process.
