Learning to Teach Geography in the Secondary School: A Companion to School Experience (Learning to Teach Subjects in the Secondary School Series) (Volume 1)

Learning to Teach Geography in the Secondary School provides intending and practising teachers of geography with the practical skills to design, teach and evaluate varied and exciting lessons. It also helps them to acquire a deeper understanding of geography's role, purpose and potential in secondary education. The book explores how teachers may use geography as a vehicle for preparing pupils for uncertain environmental, cultural, social and economic futures.

'This is a practical and visionary book, as well as being superbly optimistic. It has as much to offer the experienced teacher as the novice and could be used to reinvigorate geography departments everywhere. Practical activities and ideas are set within a carefully worked out, authoritative, conceptual framework.' - The Times Educational Supplement

'This is a modern, powerful, relevant and comprehensive work that is likely to become a standard reference for many beginning teachers on geography initial teacher training courses in England and Wales.' - Educational Review
