Foundations of Geographic Education

Episode 144: This week on Thinking Deeply about Primary Education, I'm joined by the inimitable Sarah Larsen for an exploration of geography. As part of the chat we discuss...

1. What is geography?

2. What are your guiding principles for the teaching of geography?

3. …and what role does cognitive science have in this respect?

4. What is field-work?

5. How can we design effective/impactful field-work sessions? 

6. You are a secondary teacher with a considerable number of feeder schools. If you could have a basic level of understanding across every pupil coming up from primary, what would it look like? 

...and much, much more! Whether you're new to the profession or an experienced senior leader, you won't want to miss this one!
