Geography Program’s Work Is Featured on WMUR’s N.H. Chronicle

Kristin Alvarez (Geography) was interviewed on WMUR’s Chronicle on November 26 in a feature about David McCormick, a fourth-grade teacher at the Mast Way Elementary School in Lee. McCormick learned about geocoaching at a summer institute sponsored by the NH Geographic Alliance (NHGA), which is coordinated by Alvarez and headquartered at Keene State.

Alvarez nominated McCormick for a National Council for Geographic Education Distinguished Teaching award, which he won in 2008. In the Chronicle feature, McCormick is shown engaging students in various geography sessions in the classroom, in GPS woods walks, and in the gym with group activities on top of a floor-sized map.
