Abstract
Delaware is a small but diverse state in which face-to-face and one-on-one communication with members of the public as well as educational leaders is a pre-requisite to achieving success with educational programmes such as the Delaware Geographic Alliance. The Alliance has been closely involved with state educational reform efforts by helping to staff committees that crafted the state geography standards and now is developing items for the state test. Recently, the Alliance has targeted high schools, where the greatest resistance to geographic teaching and learning is encountered. A project is underway to develop a series of teaching units that focus on the geography of health and disease. Throughout its work over the past ten years, the Alliance has found that educational reform is highly political and geography requires constant advocacy to compete for attention in a crowded school curriculum.
