GAConf22 - The GA's Listening Exercise - #47 of many

The latest in a series of posts showcasing sessions which are included in the programme for the GA Conference in April 2022.

The GA listening exercise: reporting on the professional needs and views of teachers of geography. 

This session presents the findings and recommendations from a listening exercise with GA members completed in 2020-21. 

Framed around our vision to ‘create a vibrant and diverse subject community inspiring high-quality geographical teaching and learning’, the exercise enables the GA to better understand the professional needs of members and the challenges they currently face so that it can respond with appropriate support.

I was delighted to be part of the team of GA members / volunteers who gave up time to facilitate discussions between some of the 450+ people who had kindly filled in a questionnaire which we circulated.

You can download the full report from here and see the recommendations that were made for the way the GA works, and to help us support the needs of all geography teachers more appropriately and effectively over the coming years of the current GA Strategy.

It's part of the GA's wider efforts to provide advocacy for geography - see the details here.
