Up on the RGS-IBG website already although it's only March and it's not until September are details of a webinar I'm leading on the 18th of September.
You can book a place (it's free to attend) on this link.
Details:
There has never been a better or more important time to embed geographical careers education into your curriculum. Studying geography provides students with knowledge and transferable skills that will reward them personally and advance them professionally.In this free online CPD session, Alan Parkinson, author of Why Study Geography? and the Society's Vice President: Education, will take teachers through the ways in which geographical career options and pathways can be embedded seamlessly into the curriculum in fun, interesting and useful ways.
Alan will cover topics such as why embedding careers education into your teaching is so important and how this benefits students, as well as providing an overview of the key messages you could be using to ‘sell' geography's vocational strengths to students and parents/carers.
He will also provide a brief overview of the types of jobs that geographers do and where to find information and resources to support your careers work.
The session will be full of ideas, examples of good practice and inspiration to help you think creatively about showcasing the skills and opportunities students gain when they study geography.
I'll be sharing some thoughts on what I do at my own school and the work that others do in their own schools, and gained some good ideas from the Teachmeet I was part of earlier in the week.
