REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCEThe American Geographical Society (AGS) needs your help in a matter of vital importance. The society is conducting a nationwide survey of public attitudes toward geography and knowledge about geography. This survey is a facet of a major study funded by the National Science Foundation. This “Roadmap” project is a joint effort of the National Geographic Society, the National Council for Geographic Education, the Association of American Geographers, and AGS. The overall topic is geographic literacy, a matter of serious concern in the United States today. The society invites all U. S. citizens and other long-term residents of the United States to take the survey. The only eligibility requirement is that a respondent must be age 18 or older. The results will help guide federal and state policies regarding geographic education. You may access the survey online by clicking the following link: AGS Geographic Knowledge and Values SurveyBased on trial runs, the society estimates that the survey will take 12 to 18 minutes of your time.
