One of my projects over the next month or so is to put the flesh on the bones of a unit that will go up on the Geography Teaching Today website.
The unit will be related to FOOD and a series of curriculum resources will be developed, as well as a series of ideas for developing an appropriate progression through the sessions. As always, there will be a hefty dose of ICT in there, and some web tools.
The development of this unit is funded by the Teacher Learning Academy (TLA)
For those who don't know about the TLA:
The Teacher Learning Academy (TLA) has been operating for four years and more than 15,000 teachers have achieved, or are currently working towards attaining, professional recognition through the TLA. Currently over 300 schools across England are pilot TLA Schools or TLA Centres. The TLA is led by the General Teaching Council for England (GTC), the professional body for teaching in England. The GTC's purpose is to help improve standards of teaching and the quality of learning in the public interest.
The unit will be related to FOOD and a series of curriculum resources will be developed, as well as a series of ideas for developing an appropriate progression through the sessions. As always, there will be a hefty dose of ICT in there, and some web tools.
We'll also be using feedback from the workshop at the GA Conference.
I would be interested in hearing from any teachers who use FOOD as a context for teaching geography and how they use it, so that we can weave some teacher case studies into the resource as well.
