Leading geographers from the Association of American Geographers together with secondary school teachers will produce a curriculum materials package for use in existing and emerging social science classes in the secondary schools. The materials will focus on population, patterns, economic regionalization and political geography as factors that shape the pattern of human-environment interaction throughout the nation. The aim is a broad contextual understanding of environmental issues with particular emphasis on the kinds of global problems that require coordinated action at the global, regional and local levels. The materials will consist of a concise geography text, a set of classroom and individual student activities, related readings, and a detailed teachers' manual. Student assessment instruments will also be developed. The materials will incorporate features that reflect trends in several aspects of the secondary curriculum as recommended by "Guidelines for Geographic Education," the NCTM Standards, the report, "Charting a Course: Social Studies Curriculum for the 21st Century" published by the National Commission on Social Studies in Schools. Formative evaluation will be conducted by an outside expert and the network of Geographic Alliances will play a central role in materials dissemination and teacher enhancement.

美国地理学家协会的顶尖地理学家将与中学教师一起制作一套课程材料，供中学现有和新兴的社会科学课程使用。 这些材料将重点关注人口、模式、经济区域化和政治地理等影响全国人类与环境互动模式的因素。 其目的是对环境问题有广泛的背景理解，特别强调需要在全球、区域和地方各级采取协调行动的全球问题。 这些材料将包括简明的地理课本、一套课堂和学生个人活动、相关阅读材料以及详细的教师手册。 还将开发学生评估工具。 这些材料将按照《地理教育指南》、NCTM 标准、国家学校社会研究委员会出版的报告《制定课程：21 世纪社会研究课程》的建议，纳入反映中学课程多个方面趋势的特点。 形成性评估将由外部专家进行，地理联盟网络将在材料传播和教师提升方面发挥核心作用。
