Wallowa County Chieftain
Troy School teacher Fred
Byers didn’t know what his
chances were when he earned a
place on a week-long program
that affords the opportunity for
Oregon schoolteachers to learn
and examine
the geogra-
phy of Wash-
ington, D.C.
The Center
for Geogra-
phy Educa-
tion in Ore-
gon, under
Byers
the auspices
of Portland
State University, sponsored
the competition in celebration
of the 100th anniversary meet-
ing of the National Council for
Geographic Education.
“You had to write a paper
for this class conference/work-
shop. It was a competitive sort
of thing and they (CGEO) se-
lected 10 teachers from around
the state, and I was one of them.
It was a surprise to me that only
ten teachers were selected from
around the state and about thir-
ty were left on a waiting list. I
learned they selected me in late
March,” Byers said.
Byers’ paper explained how
he would use the opportunity
to supplement his geography
teaching in the classroom. “In
my case, the school, since it
only has four kids,” Byers add-
ed.
The trip gives Byers the
opportunity to not only bring
back photos from the trip, but

edge of the geography of the
D.C. area. “The Geographic
Center tries to focus on things
most people are unaware of.
I’m going to spend a day on
the B&O canal, which they
still use. Another thing we’ll
be looking at is the 40-mile-
long wall that goes around
Washington, D.C. There are all
kinds of things out there that
are really important to histo-
ry and geography that doesn’t
come up in textbooks,” Byers
said.
The opportunity affords
Byers the chance to work
with archaeologists studying
the wall. Byers said the wall
was built in 1798 to encircle
the 100 square miles cut out
from Maryland and Virginia to
make up Washington, D.C.
The trip is not all fun and
games for Byers. “I have to put
in about 20 written pages of
hand-written paperwork for it.
Things are kind of up in the air
for what our duties are going to
be for all these studies that are
going to be done, but I’m sure
we’ll be busy,” Byers said.
As it stands, Byers is the
only teacher from eastern Ore-
gon selected for the trip, which
is slated for Aug. 2-9. He plans
to spread out the knowledge
he gains to other schools. “I’m
hoping to share what I learn
with the other school districts
in Wallowa County,” Byers
said.
