Programme overview
There are many visions of Geography that are debated, including what should be part of the Geography National Curriculum.
You’ll engage with these debates and develop your own clear vision of Geography. This process is an essential element in your professional development and will help you to establish confidence and competence.
By the end of the programme you’ll be confident, creative, and able to teach geography to 11-19 year olds. The programme will also prepare you for playing an active and innovative leadership role in a Geography department.
What you will learn
First stage
You will build confidence in what being a geography teacher involves. University sessions include lesson planning, learning theories,establishing engagement and an introduction into what powerful geographical knowledge is and how this can be developed. You will work closely with other geography student teachers in a subject specialist group. You will identify your subject knowledge strengths and prioritise school geography topics to revise/enhance – including which resources to use.
You will also have supported lesson observations in school to provide you with constructive feedback. A variety of effective classroom practices are modelled by experienced mentors with the opportunity to build up your own teaching experience in a way that is best for you.
If you are passionate about the world and the people within it and want to inspire young people then this is the course for you. If you do not have a degree in Geography, we will still consider you if you have a degree that is at least 50% geographical in nature and is backed up by a strong grade in A-level Geography.
