This book presents the evolution of the Powerful Geography approach to teaching and learning in the United States and how the approach can be adapted and implemented in other countries. Powerful Geography acknowledges the remarkable diversity that exists in classrooms, the wide-ranging interests of modern students and the desire of these students to translate dynamic subject-matter into "useful" information and concepts, a process that is consistent with modern educational theory. For Powerful Geography to work in secondary and postsecondary education, teachers and university professors must adapt and teach geography as a critical training where individual students see opportunities to apply geography content, skills, and technology to real world problems that they care about. This book challenges geography educators at all levels to strengthen their applied curriculum in order to help students prepare for jobs and careers in broad areas such as climate change, migration, environmental protection, natural resources, energy development and use, transport planning, supply chain logistics, global trade, national security, and infrastructure.
