The book further explains the broad variety of institutionalization of geography teacher education in various political systems. In short, this book collects strategies for geography teacher educators worldwide to provide insight into the challenges, conditions, and solutions present at the classroom and institutional level.

This handbook presents a broad and comprehensive overview of research and practices in geography education at primary and secondary levels (from birth to about age 18). It summarizes the current state of knowledge in this sub-discipline of geography. Including authors representative of many geography education traditions, the book pays equal attention to learning and teaching and to respect student voices, and includes rich in case studies, evidence-based research, and specific examples. It also emphasizes ways that geography education can contribute to global concerns about social justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion as well as ways it can help to prepare the next generation of informed, critical, and reflective members of societies.
The book is divided into five sections:
· Purposes of geography education—Why is it taught?
· Perspectives on geography education—Whatis taught?
· Practices of geography education—How is it organized and taught?
· Preparation of geography educators—How are geography educators prepared?
· Possibilities for geography education—What is/are the future(s) of geography education
By providing broad perspectives and lively and accessible writing, this handbook is a useful tool for novice geography educators, teacher educators, educational policy makers, support staff such as librarians and media resource specialists, curriculum developers, and assessment experts in many world regions.
