Nearly ten years have passed since the Joint Committee on Geographic Education of the Association of American Geographers and the National Council for Geographic Education produced the Guidelines for Geographic Education: Elementary and Secondary Schools. More than 100,000 copies have been distributed. This paper discusses the antecedents of the Guidelines, the debates that produced the document, the logic of the development of the fundamental themes, and retrospective and prospective views of the process and the product.
