A Study into the Teaching of Geography in Years 3-10
http://tinyurl.com/3w7vxn
A Study into the Teaching of Geography in Years 3-10 discusses current practice in the teaching of geography in Australian schools and factors which affect the quality of teaching and learning of geography. It also investigates the fundamentals that every Australian student should know in the subject before they complete Year 10 and provides a sample national Years 3-10 geography curriculum framework to stimulate further discussion.

The N.C. Online - Geography
http://curriculum.qca.org.uk/
As pupils study geography, they encounter different societies and cultures. This helps them realise how nations rely on each other. It can inspire them to think about their own place in the world, their values, and their rights and responsibilities to other people and the environment.

The U.S. National Geography Standards
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/xpeditions/standards/
The U.S. National Geography Standards
The U.S. National Geography Standards were published in Washington, D.C., on October 20, 1994. They appeared at a time of great optimism and great controversy over the concept of national standards for K-12 education.
As the writing coordinator for the standards project, I am pleased to say that the National Geography Standards are alive and well today. We were and still are optimistic. The vast majority of states have incorporated parts or all of the 18 geography standards into their state standards. The main document, Geography for Life, has sold nearly 100,000 copies, and the executive summary has sold nearly 30,000 copies. Textbooks have incorporated the standards into lesson plans and exercises.
