Excited for April already!
Pleased my session proposal for @The_GA #GAConf27 has been accepted! “Ambitious KS3 geography: a curriculum that inspires” Exploring KS3’s purpose, curriculum coherence, content selection, sequencing and how we deepen geographical understanding.
Looking forward to it! I will be drawing on the work of @MaryMyatt on the importance of ambition in the KS3 years and its potential as the ‘intellectual powerhouse’ of the secondary school. #geography #geographyteacher #KS3
