Delaware Geography - Health Initiative

A Curriculum Project of the Delaware Geographic Alliance

The Delaware Geography-Health Initiative, a set of teaching units developed specifically to address Delaware's high school geography standards, is now ready for distribution. Each unit is structured as an inquiry-oriented research problem for students to address, and uses a GIS-based approach. Modeled loosely on the Smithsonion science kits, the units represent the only "home-grown" products that focus specifically on Delaware topics that are available presently in social studies at the high school level. The teacher version includes a guide to teaching the units, DSTP-type assessments, backgound readings, references for the teacher, and visuals for use in instruction.  The student version includes the materials needed for completing the research activities and
student readings. The Alliance can provide classroom sets of the student version.
