The Geo-Inquiry Process is a five-step method designed to teach the skills necessary to think and reason geographically, and includes asking Geo-Inquiry Questions, acquiring geographic information, organizing and analyzing information, and using the information to answer Geo-Inquiry Questions for informed action. The Geo-Inquiry Process relies on geographic perspective as a foundation, offering students a unique lens to analyze space, place, and the interconnections of systems in our world. Geographic perspective is interdisciplinary and allows for the examination of complex issues at various scales. By using a geographic perspective with the Geo-Inquiry Process students begin to connect complex components, see patterns, and make connections as they look at the world differently in order to make informed predictions, well-reasoned decisions, and take action.
