This course will focus on the strategy and practice of teaching Geography at KS3 and KS4 and viewing the links between the two stages as an opportunity for the development of confidence, enjoyment and achievement amongst learners.
The course will look at how learners can develop a greater appreciation of Geography and its applicability by what is done in the classroom as a platform for independent learning, with a view to encouraging more students to continue with their geographical studies. The course will be practical to the everyday classroom and is very much based on real experiences.
It will explore course aims, schemes of work, teaching and learning methods, lesson content, fieldwork, assessment and evaluation all with a focus on the outcome of raising student performance and enjoyment.
