Teacher CPD events now online

With the Society currently closed due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we are hosting our summer programme of teacher CPD events online.

Over the coming months, we will run a range of events for teachers designed to enhance skills and provide up-to-date knowledge on variety of topics. We have events suitable for both primary and secondary level geography teachers, from sharing ideas in our Teachmeets and updating knowledge on the GCSE curriculum, to exploring technical fieldwork techniques and using spreadsheets to manage the different types of data - so there’s bound to be something to pique your interest.
