Pharris Cotner World Geography Teacher Cañon City Middle School
This
page will give my history in education and some facts about my geography
classroom at Cañon City Middle School. This
is my 23nd year of teaching in the Cañon City School District.
My time has been divided between two schools in our system. My first
twelve years were spent at Lincoln Elementary School as a second and sixth
grade teacher. My last eleven years have been at Cañon City Middle School
as a seventh grade world geography teacher. I obtained my undergraduate
degree in Education from the University of Southern Colorado in 1980. My
Masters Degree was completed in 1987 from Adams State College in Alamosa,
Colorado. I also have over fifty additional hours from various colleges
and universities around the state. In
my seventh grade world geography classroom, we focus on the studies of
physical geography of the world. We use a variety of resource materials
for these studies including the Prentice Hall World Geography textbook,
Nystrom World Atlas, and numerous individual student desk maps. The
students also draw physical maps of different regions and continents of
the world. I have included links
to the Social Studies Standards and a world geography timeline of our
school year below for your viewing. If
you need additional information that your son/daughter can’t provide for
you, please contact me at 719-276-5770. Thank
you, Pharris
