GAConf22: The power of everyday geography: a framework for making the ordinary extraordinary - #70 of many

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

Anne Dolan's book: 'Powerful Primary Geography' in my library. Check it out here.

Anne was kind enough to come along to Salzburg for a week long course I ran back in 2013 - wow, nearly 10 years ago now on GeoMedia... Here we are enjoying Sharon Witt and Helen Clarke's session on bats and geography at the last face-to-face GA Conference before the one this year.

Details of the session:

The power of everyday geography: a framework for making the ordinary extraordinary 

Young people are living in an exciting world. To ignite their passion and curiosity, we need to focus on ourselves as teachers first, renewing in ourselves an awareness of the miraculous and magical nature of the world around us. Ultimately, we need to begin with everyday geography. In this session I will propose five signposts for recognising and facilitating the use of everyday geography in primary and post-primary classrooms.
