Summary
"This is must read for all 11-18 geography educators. Teaching Geography 11-18 digs deep. It asks not only what geography is for, but bases its answer on a set of key concepts able to sustain an exciting and relevant curriculum.-Professor Noel Castree, University of Manchester, UK --
This engaging and stimulating book aims to radically re-shape and sharpen debates in geography education by taking an entirely fresh approach to both the subject and its place in secondary education. --
Key questions addressed In this book include: --
What is the place of geography within the secondary school curriculum? --
To what extent does school geography reflect and engage with contemporary issues and theories from the wider subject? --
What are the issues, challenges and opportunities of a concept-led approach to teaching geography? --
What are the implications of ICT, media and technology for the future of geography teaching in schools? --
Influenced by the revised national curriculum for geography which has reduced the prescribed content to be covered, this book offers an objective view of the concept-led approach. --
The new focus on concepts represents a significant shift in how geography is to be taught in schools, yet there has been little extended discussion of what a 'concept-led' approach to teaching and learning would entail. This book fills that void by examining geography's key concepts, and providing teachers with a theoretically robust and practical approach to curriculum planning using a concept-led approach. --
This is essential reading for all secondary geography teachers, trainee teachers and anyone involved with education and curriculum planning. --Book Jacket.
