Leading Geography: Autumn Term (ON DEMAND)
This online session is designed for geography subject leaders and curriculum leaders to look closely at primary geography and learn how we can implement a well-sequenced, coherent curriculum for long term learning. This session will guide discussions about place, space and the environment and how these concepts manifest in contextual knowledge within the curriculum. Participants will reflect upon curriculum planning in geography and what progression looks like. Importantly, we will consider how the geography curriculum can develop awareness of important global geographical issues and support children’s understanding of the world around them.
We will consider questions such as;
- What do we teach in geography and why?
- How can we sequence the geography curriculum to ensure children are making progress from lesson to lesson, unit to unit and year to year?
- How can we embed local geography and fieldwork in a meaningful way?
- What can we do to help develop children’s spatial sense?
- How can we develop vocabulary in geography and support writing at length?
- How can we effectively assess in geography and review the impact of our geography curriculum?
- How can we prepare for a deep dive in Geography?
This course is for curriculum leaders, Geography subject leaders and teachers and will reflect upon the role that Geography plays in the new Ofsted inspection framework.
