Geography for life: national geography standards, 1994.AUTHOR: O.F.G. SitwellThe magazine publisher is the copyright holder of this article and it is reproduced with permission.

It was prepared, jointly, by every major American organization that is committed to the practice of geography in either its professional or popular manifestations. It provides both foundation and frame for what pupils would learn, as geography, from kindergarten to Grade 12. Though seemingly academic, the curriculum is structured around the acquisition of a series of skills that could be acquired by the full range of students. In acquiring those skills the students would meet the broad objectives characteristically set by legislation for their school systems. To obtain the full potential offered by National Geography Standards, which could easily be adapted to the Canadian situation, would require the active co-operation of provincial departments of education, faculties of education, and university departments of geography.?In 1994, the American Congress enacted Goals 2000: The Educate America Act (Public Law 103-227). Among its provisions, the Act identified a small number of subjects that were to form the core of the curriculum in the countrys schools. Along with English, history, mathematics, and science, geography was identified as being one of these core subjects. Geography for Life: National Geography Standards, 1994 (hereafter NGS) is the collective response shown to this Act of the Congress by the American Geographical Society, the Association of American Geographers, the National Council for Geographic Education, and the National Geographic Society. In other words, this publication represents a joint attempt by every major organization
