Me. What I want to be doing, What I usually end up doing these days as SLT but still firmly in the classroom and grappling with curriculum changes and budget constraints. Everything is personal and I chose to do this job because of where I came from the Valleys boy who was told that I couldnt do it.2

@davidErogers

Do we need grid references?

Think past they havent done geography.

They come to us as excellent writers and thinkers.@davidErogers

Use proper language from lesson one

They dont need to be told what geography is: do it!

They may not be aware that they have done geography@davidErogers

@davidErogers

A high-quality geography education should inspire in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. Teaching should equip pupils with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earths key physical and human processes. As pupils progress, their growing knowledge about the world should help them to deepen their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes, and of the formation and use of landscapes and environments. Geographical knowledge, understanding and skills provide the framework and approaches that explain how the Earths features at different scales are shaped, interconnected and change over time.Purpose of study

Based on the 2015 draft GCSE criteria. Applicable to KS3 as well as KS4, especially the emphasis on UK / places.S.E.E.P = social, economic, environmental, political. The idea is that slide 1 is the coloured template wheel. Slide 2 is printed on tracing paper and attached as an overlay. Students then mark on the tracing paper what score they are at different stages of the year using the scale. Font = OpenDyslexic39
