Arizona State University received a $1.19 million Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the American History and Civics Education federal grant program (CFDA 84.422). The grant aims to support the establishment of the GEOCIVICS professional development program to integrate geography across the social sciences and improve instruction for culturally and linguistically diverse K-12 student populations in Tempe, Arizona. The one-year project period runs from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022. The GEOCIVICS program will provide teacher training to incorporate geographic concepts and skills into history, civics and other social studies courses through workshops and collaborative lesson planning activities. This aligns with the American History and Civics Education program's goal of strengthening the teaching of American history, civics and government in elementary and secondary schools.
