Thanks to Sylvia Knight, Head of Education at the Royal Meteorological Society, via LinkedIn for telling me about some work being shared by the awarding body AQA.
This week, the AQA exam board has published booklets for teachers of their Science, Geography, Maths, Religious Studies, Citizenship. Design and Technology and Psychology GCSE specifications, showing how the current specifications can be used to deliver the climate education that students are asking for and need to equip them with the green skills for the future workforce.
Building on the reports the RMetS published in 2023, the booklets exemplify how teachers can demonstrate to students that the skills and understanding that they are already being taught can be applied to the context of climate change, adaptation and mitigation, without increasing curriculum content or teaching load.The booklets are available on this link.
The Geography one is 2Mb download, and is 14pp long. It shows how key ideas are connected to climate change and this can be referenced throughout the teaching.
Why not let colleagues in those other subjects know about the booklets.
