Heartland Theory - AP® Human Geography Crash Course Review

Heartland Theory: AP® Human Geography Crash Course Review

The Heartland Theory is a form of geopolitics. Geopolitics are politics influenced by geography. Since human geography is about how humans are impacted by geography, we would say geopolitics have a lot to do with APHG. The Heartland Theory is important to anyone taking the AP® Human Geography exam.

The neuroscience/biological perspective relates to the way that genetics and evolution affect human behavior and natural selection.

How Albert Can Help Teachers New to the AP® Program

We recently chatted with Stephanie Stone who is an AP® Environmental Science teacher in Maryland. While she’s taught science for 20+ years, she just recently started teaching an AP® class.  She found Albert to be an incredibly helpful resource in her first few years teaching AP, so we thought it might be a good idea to put together a guide for others in the same position. 

Teaching an AP® course for the first time can be intimidating. The curriculum is dense, the expectations are high, and doing well on the end of year exam can mean a lot for students (boosting their college applications, saving money on general education credits). For educators new to the AP® program, Albert can be used as a tool to build familiarity with the curriculum and help teachers feel confident and prepared in front of the class.
