Teacher-Friendly Guides:
Learn about your region in
a teacher-friendly way.

Designed to complement your current curriculum, PRI's Teacher-Friendly Guides provide a wonderful background to help understand regional and local Earth system science in terms of a basic sequence of historical events and processes.  Follow the link below to learn about a particular region, find teacher resources by state, and order a guide.  Guides for the Northeast and Southeast regions are completed and available; watch for the completion of other regional guides in the coming months and years!

The Teacher-Friendly Guides are being developed as part of the NSF-funded teacher professional development project "ReaL Earth Inquiry." A central goal of the project is to help teachers use inquiry through integration of relevant real-world Earth science into curricula. A focus of our approach is "Virtual Fieldwork Experiences," bringing fieldwork into the classroom through imagery, data, and specimens. Go to VirtualFieldWork.org to learn more!
