The GA and the new Curriculum and Assessment Review

The GA and the RGS will both be 'in the room' when the curriculum review discussions related to geography take place.


The GA is collecting responses from teachers, who may not be in the room, but will be impacted by the decisions made by the review group. 

The RGS is going to be doing something similar as the picture on the consultation becomes a little clearer.

The Geographical Association wants to hear your views on the geography National Curriculum and GCSE and A level content and assessment.

Steve Brace, GA Chief Executive, says 
‘We want as many teachers as possible to share your views about which aspects of the current geography curriculum, its GCSEs and A levels are working well – and where you’d like to see changes’.

Fill in the form by the 20th of September.

Here's me outside said hut. Don't forget the uniformbooks book of course. Still available and an excellent read.

Towards the end, he moved on to Donald Trump and his controversial plans for a golf course in the sand dunes close to Aberdeen. He called the planned development "New Trumpton on Sea" and talked about gated communities and their absentee residents. He riffed on the idea of ' sustainability ' and how every architect and development trumpeted its sustainable credentials. New words like : "Sustain-abulous" and "Sustain-astic" ! Called it "architectural correctness"... "It's a slogan of conformist unoriginality..."
