Teaching Geography in Primary Schools
“Silver Award Winner 2007, The Geographical Association” Whether you are an experienced geography teacher or, more likely, a primary teacher insecure in your geography knowledge, Teaching Geography in Primary Schools: Learning to Live in the World is for you!
Fran Martin introduces Teaching Geography in Primary Schools in such a way that prior knowledge in the subject is not essential to becoming a successful teacher of geography — yet the outcome is a rich geographical education. Teaching Geography in Primary Schools helps you to:
- Demystify the subject
- Transform knowledge of everyday matters into meaningful geographical activities
- Realise the relevance of geography to the whole curriculum
- Raise levels of confidence for you and your pupils in such a way that you can teach the Geography Curriculum requirements with insight and enjoyment
- Know what to teach and what children need to learn
- Know why to teach in a particular way and understand the benefits children gain from learning in this way
- To help your pupils make better, more informed decisions about how to live their lives now and in the future
The content is in three broad sections:
- Learning and Teaching
- Planning and Assessment
- Key issues in Teaching Geography
