Planned and coherent progression in geography fieldwork can increase challenge, prepare students for assessments, develop skills for ‘green jobs’, as well as promoting enjoyment of the process and subject.
This self-led teacher CPD ties geography fieldwork progression to teachers’ ‘vision’ for their geography curriculum and explores capability benchmarks for different key stages and year groups.
What is self-led CPD?
Our self-led CPD modules, hosted by experts in their field, are designed to be used both individually or within departmental CPD sessions. They contain information, guidance and activities, and can be worked through at your own pace.
There are prompts within the modules where reflection, discussion or activities are encouraged. Each module is accompanied by additional documents, resources and information to enhance your learning.
