GeogPod

Another episode where we look back at one of the sessions from this year's GA eConference. This time we bring you the audio from Katy Salter's session from the GCSE pathway which focused on using assessment data and evidence-based strategies to boost attainment in key stage 4.

You can download the PowerPoint from Katy's session here in case you want to follow along (but it will still make perfect sense without the PowerPoint).

This special episode of GeogPod takes the audio from a panel discussion held over Zoom during the GA's recent eConference. GA President Gill Miller was the chair as the four panelists discussed how to continue geography education during the current challenging circumstances.

In episode 4 of GeogPod, John spoke to Dr Daniel Hammett, a Senior Lecturer at Sheffield University, about development and geopolitics in sub-Saharan Africa and questions of the representation and perception of developing countries.

In this week's GeogPod, John spoke to Professor Peter Jackson about food security, the origins of the food we eat, and whether the UK could ever be self-sufficient in terms of its food production.

In the pod, Peter mentioned the Desert Garden project. You can find out more about the project and donate to the appeal here.

Margaret Roberts was responsible for the PGCE course at Sheffield University for almost 20 years, is a former GA president (2008-2009), the author of the influential publications Geography Through Enquiry and Learning Through Enquiry, and a former editor of the Teaching Geography journal. In this episode, Margaret takes us on a fascinating journey through her career in geography education to date.

In this episode, John spoke to James Pollard, a PhD Candidate at the Department of Geography at Jesus College, Cambridge, about the article he wrote for Geography on climate change and coastal policy. For reference, you can read James' journal article here for free.

The very first episode of GeogPod! Our host John Lyon is joined by the GA's Curriculum and Marketing Manager, Rebecca Kitchen, to discuss the Critical thinking for achievement project.
