Geoscience Education in the Mountain State:
GEOTEACH


Dividing Line
Geology Education Outreach for Teachers (GEOTEACH)
GEOTEACH was made available by "No Child Left Behind Act" funding awarded by the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission. Its premise was that inquiry learning is philosophically rooted in dilemma. In other words, allowing learners to work through a situation in their own ways can lead to enduring comprehension and the development of lifelong habits of learning. GEOTEACH participants quickly experience this type of learning.
