Thanks to Susan Pike for the tipoff to a seminar that is being held at UCL in early July. I won't be able to make it, but it looks very useful and interesting, and also timely considering the growing discussions over the use of research to inform classroom practice, by members of GEReCo: the Geography Education Research Collective.There is a link here to the page with details.
It's during the working week and in school time, but there may be some London-based teachers with gained time who could attend if they were thinking of doing an MA, or had a CPD role within their school.
