Geography is a brilliant, exciting subject- at least it should be. However, our main concern is not with geography, it is with children's learning and that is the difference. Geography should assist learning, not just be a load of content to be delivered, and it is this fresh approach that has attracted so much acclaim. This book is as much about professional development as it is about providing direct teaching resources. Making its strategies work effectively requires you to take risks, develop your practice and learn more about students' learning.
