Professional Standards for Teaching School Geography

The GTAV is one of four sponsors of the 'Standards for Teaching School Geography' project. The draft of these standards is now complete and teachers are invited to complete a survey to provide feedback to the project team.

Geography – It's essential

A clear and user-friendly guide setting out the place of Geography in the curiculum. The booklet aims to

* increase awareness and understanding of the characteristics and value of Geography
* support both primary and secondary educators in clarifying the essential components of teaching Geography
* draw together all the current resources that have been written about Geography methodology and skill development, providing links to these.

The full document is available here. Links within the document are hyperlinked to supporting documents.
