Course summary

In this course you’ll explore the skills and knowledge that Geography offers at secondary education level, training to cover the 11-16 age range, in secondary age phase, with post-16 enhancement. We’ll support you to become a confident, dynamic and creative teacher with the ability to make Geographical thinking and the Geographical mind accessible to all. You’ll discover how pupils learn and explore ways in which you can plan Geographical activities that will ensure they progress and develop their Geographical minds. Exploring an inclusive and rich approach towards Geography you’ll discover and learn how to make the Geography curriculum in a way that will promote Geographical thinking learning how to inspire and enthuse your pupils by taking them on exciting and stimulating Geographical journeys. You will be able to achieve this by developing your knowledge and understanding of a range of Geographical pedagogies. These can be used to help pupils to become more self-confident and critically informed about the planet that they inhabit. This course has links with key subject associations, the Royal Geographical Society and the Geographical Association. Another key feature of the course is its fieldwork component which includes an in depth consideration of how to devise and plan local urban fieldwork and residential fieldwork with a rural and physical Geography focus. In line with DfE requirements, we have designed Intensive Training and Practice (ITaP) sessions for this course. ITaP elements enable you to focus on specific and pivotal areas of the ITE curriculum – such as assessment, transitions and adaptive teaching – in an intensive way and so develop the skills and knowledge to draw together evidence-based theory and practice.
