Chartered Geographer (Teacher) aims to recognise professional advancement and excellence in geography teaching. The project will increase awareness of the accreditation and support teachers through their application. It will also offer advice about CPD opportunities and create regional networks of Chartered Geographers.

Chartered Geographer (Teacher) is relevant to the TDA framework of professional and occupational standards for teachers and can support your application for a leadership or Advanced Teacher role.

It shows that you are committed to geography beyond your specific teaching responsibilities, by recognising your ongoing contribution to teaching and learning and the wider discipline.

Garry Atterton, a Chartered Geographer from South Gloucester, says “this status has greatly benefited myself, members of the department and my students.”
