K12 educators, administrators, and students alike can learn from the many in higher ed who have been doing GIS longer and/or more intensively. K12 educators who teach content using GIS can find powerful examples across a full range of natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and research. Data science scholars, computer science and programming enthusiasts, and CTE instructors can see deep takes on GIS processes, tools, and strategies used in mapping, analyzing, and understanding complex situations and solving particular kinds of problems. K12 administrators in schools and districts will find key parallels in higher ed situations. And high school students hoping to build toward a career (with or without college) can see useful guidance for moving forward.
