A message from Matt Podbury.
Many Geography teaching colleagues around the world are being faced with the need to adapt and change their fieldwork / coursework investigations in response to Covid-19.
Colleagues who were going to travel and had organised residential trips are now having to rethink their plans and restructure and re-plan for coursework that is either hyper-local (school grounds) or local (town, city, local river etc).
With this in mind, I have set up a document where colleagues can contribute to a bank of potential localised fieldwork possibilities that could be used by exam grade students (I)GCSE, AS / A Level, IB DP etc).
They can be based on investigations that you have successfully run in your school locality or a project that could be adapted to become a fieldwork inquiry. All contributions would be most welcome. In two weeks, I will publish v.1.0 of this document and then update if & when more ideas are added.
Thanks in advance for your help & support.
Matt has kick-started the document by sharing a few to get people going, and model how to fill in the form.
I have an idea or two to share and will do that when I get a moment.
Please consider adding a suggestion for your own area.
