NCGE’s GeoCamp 2015 Summer Institute in Iceland Field Guide becomes a model for others planning field trips. This inquiry-based guide is available in digital form here. At the VGA Steering committee meeting in September it was lauded as model for members to use when preparing their own field trips, and has already served as such for the “Cultural Landscapes: Urban Settlement and Development in Richmond, VA” field trip led by Lyne Everhart of the VGA during the NCGE annual meeting in early August. (A link to the pdf will permanently appear on the FOR MEMBERS page for easy access.)
Nineteen teachers from 14 states participated in the Iceland institute, including three from Virginia: Shannon Castelo, Judith Painter, Vonda Tabor. The GeoCamp was co-led by Bob Morrill.
