The latest in a series of posts showcasing sessions which are included in the programme for the GA Conference in April 2022.
This session will explain some ideas discussed in contemporary teaching and learning literature, such
as dual coding, retrieval practice and ‘simplicity rules’, and apply them to our everyday geography
classrooms.
Participants will receive a range of take away examples and have an opportunity to share
their own ideas.
