As we come towards the end of the Spring term, we’re sharing some advice and thoughts on high-leverage techniques to support revision and strategic exam preparation for geography students (learningtoteachgeography.substack.com/p/revision-g...) for next term!
When I read this great article by Travis T. Fuchs, PhD in a recent Geography journal, I knew it'd make a great 'reading the landscape' article for Learning to Teach Geography: lnkd.in/epiwv3Qh
Really interesting to see @metoffice.gov.uk starting to quantify and boundary some of their forecast probabilities, and how they are showing that graphically for reports (www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...). Love the depth of information, and the clarity of the explanation - really interesting!
But there’s some interesting reflections here for us as geographers, in light of this, and how we take forward what we mean when we say “for all”.
This Review is framed as an approach to building a world-class curriculum for all – but the data from Table 9 shows that there is a wide range of engagement with qualifications by disadvantaged status.
Delighted and grateful that Secondary Geography in Action is now published and on sale with @hachettelearning.bsky.social as part of @teacherhead.bsky.social's "In Action" series. www.hachettelearning.com/geography/se...
It's been a little while since I came back from the @geographicalassoc.bsky.social Annual Conference, but I've shared some reflections on the time here: drpreece.home.blog/2025/04/24/r... Congratulations and thank you to @stevebracegeog.bsky.social and @robbogeog.bsky.social and the GA team!
Heading in to London to work with our wonderful Year 2 Geography colleagues, and the brilliant Karen from Discover the World. It's such a privilege to work with this cohort, even if it means early trains! Looking forward to a great day, and hopeful for smooth journeys for all.
From our family to yours, Merry Christmas. Let's hope for a brilliant 2025, and as many Dreamies as you can manage.
Saw this on my BBC weather app this morning - interesting to know what's happened and how! Also nice to know we're not forecast for 14675 kt winds... I'm not dressed for sub-orbital stuff today...! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Absolutely loved "What's Next?" (which I'd forgotten that I'd ordered...) as an insight behind the cast and culture of The West Wing. A beautifully written and emotional book - some photos and stories broke me! - about a show which inspired me, taught me about service, and gave me a huge amount.
