Geography

“It takes me a year to undo the damage.”

A Geography Tutor at Oxford University talking about their undergraduate geography students who have done A-level Geography.

How can we equip future undergraduates with the requisite knowledge and skills for this fast paced subject?

Working with the Oxford University Department of Education we have developed and delivered a full day teacher training workshop for their Geography PGCE interns. The workshop connects with many elements of the GCSE and A-level curricula, both human and physical, and upskills trainee teachers with the relevant knowledge and practical skills for for carbon cycle and water cycle fieldwork. We also look at behaviour management, risk assessment, safety and wellbeing. And we consider NEA coursework options, and EPQ opportunities.

“Kim,

On behalf of Maisie, Natalie and myself, thank you very much for your time today looking at fieldwork possibilities through hands-on stuff at Wytham. Good to catch up - and thanks for the opportunities to get out of the rain.
