Course summary
This programme prepares you for a rewarding career as an effective and inspirational teacher of Geography. You will have opportunities to learn from current practitioners and external speakers who are at the forefront of geographical education. Working with experienced professionals you will explore how teaching and learning enables pupils to apply and understand the knowledge, skills and processes of Geography both inside and outside the classroom.
During your training you will focus on the various approaches and pedagogies for Geography, emphasising the practical application of theoretical work. A sequence of micro-teaching experiences will allow you to develop and share with peers, your understanding of learning and teaching strategies that support effective practice in the classroom.You will also explore signature pedagogies such as enquiry and field techniques. These sessions will help to deepen your understanding of the role and nature of Geography in the curriculum and your own personal philosophy for your subject. You will explore how Geography deepens student understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes, and of the formation and use of landscapes and environments.
The subject knowledge sessions in the programme focus on common misconceptions held by Secondary Geography students and emphasise active learning and investigative teaching. As well as broadening your own geographical knowledge, these sessions introduce you to strategies that allow you to make your subject knowledge as accessible and practical as possible to students.
