One of my favourite CPD events of the year is the SAGT conference.
It's a one day conference held on a Saturday. I've been speaking there since 2005, when my public speaking was in its infancy and rare...
This year's theme is below:
Peak Practice – Exploring Scotland’s Upland
Landscapes
This presentation will make use of EDINA's Digimap for Schools service. A new resource will be created for the conference and as always, there will plenty of ideas, and a sprinkling of technology.
Mountains are an important part of Scotland’s national identity. The
282 peaks in Munro’s list, and those that didn’t make it, have inspired
generations of artists, writers and tourists. Mountains feature in the
Geography curriculum at all levels. This session will provide a range of
approaches for exploring, explaining, interpreting, and teaching enquiry
based lessons about Scottish mountain landscapes.
Mountains are features of the physical environment, but they are inevitably influenced by human decisions. The Cairngorm Funicular, GeoPark designations, new National Trails, growth of fieldsports and the speculative listing of the Cuillin Hills for sale are just a few of many possible contexts for learning.
‘There’ll be ideas Bheag and small - remember to keep Sgurr of how many. We’ll be on just before or after the mid-day Mheall.
If you’re ready, then Buachaille up. Hopefully you Cárn keep up. I’ll Stob if you can’t, and there’ll be no Bheinn diagrams...
It will leave you wanting Mhor...’

‘For anyone that likes wild and beautiful scenery there is nothing in
Britain to equal the grandeur of the Bens and glens of Scotland, and
those peaks that frown upon the western seas have an elevation and
individuality that makes every climber anxious to explore them’
