Connecting teachers: CIE A level
Wednesday April 16, 2025 11:00am - 11:25am PDT

An opportunity for teachers of the Cambridge International (CIE) geography A level to connect and informally share ideas. Across the UK and internationally we have a wealth of experience; the aim is to make lasting connections between us. Everyone's welcome, whether you've been teaching the syllabus for years, have made the move from a 'home' specification or you're an ECT in a CIE school.

Teaching an English geography curriculum abroad: who is the Other?
Wednesday April 16, 2025 1:00pm - 1:25pm PDT
202
This paper summarizes my small-scale, qualitative research in an international school in Sri Lanka that follows the English secondary school curriculum. Focusing on IGCSE Geography, I examined how international teachers and pupils interact and connect with each other and how they construct and connect with geography. My findings revealed complexity and contribute to current discussion of decolonizing the curriculum.

Down to Earth geography: connecting the eco and the social
Wednesday April 16, 2025 2:00pm - 2:50pm PDT
202
The session opens up discussion about the future of geography teaching in the face of the epochal challenges facing human societies – and indeed life on Earth. This requires fresh thinking about the purposes and potential of education, and the possible contributions of geography. We focus on teachers' 'knowledge work' in the context of the late Bruno Latour’s terrestrial eco-social politics.

Wednesday April 16, 2025 3:30pm - 4:20pm PDT
201
In a matter a short few years, Nicholas Brown has transformed GCSE geography from a dying subject to the beating heart of his school. By creating a spoke and hub model with geography in the centre, students are excited at the subject's relevance in their day to day lives: creating businesses; travelling; beekeeping; and growing food.
