Watched this today to find out more about @dannydorling’s new book. Some shocking facts & figures shared about the state of inequality in the UK- well worth a watch for any #geographyteacher Needless to say, another book added to the TBR pile… 📚

In particular I'm looking at improving fieldwork at KS3 and making our KS4 fieldwork more affordable. Currently we coach students to an FSC centre for a rivers day. Coach alone makes trip v expensive, then adding in tuition. Any suggestions @GeogChat? #gcsefieldwork #aqageography

☀️Enjoy the lighter evenings and better weather to get outside! 🥕 Make sure you have a decent carrot... make meaningful plans for the summer break - it doesn't need to be a fancy holiday - it just needs to be time for you to do things you want to do! #geogchat

Pulled out the play doh for Y11 to model landforms yesterday: instant morale boost and a sudden interest in how a wave cut platform forms!

Whole school-wise, we have changed the nature of our end-of-year reporting to lighten the workload - when workload increases with 'end of year' activities and challenges #geogchat #ibgeography

Whole class feedback, peer and self assessment, only marking of key students - ones who need a confidence boost, or borderline candidates where exam practice is crucial #GeogChat

Whole class feedback 🙌 and being mindful of what homework I’m setting - ensuring it’s meaningful!

Going to be inundated 🤯 unsure how will realistically manage workload in a sustainable way. Doesn’t seem to be much leeway available

I think there's alot to consider re: delivery - keep it light, but well structured. Useful, but not too intense. Don't get stressed at students who aren't completing home learning/revision, instead focus on support and praise #Geogchat

Supporting confidence and mental health of staff and students. Reassuring. Calming. Reinforcing successes and building confidence in process and progress so that no one is anxious.

Reflected on the pressure on staff during this period and I've cancelled end of year exams for KS3 as a result. We're looking at other forms of assessment instead and the relief in this decision is evident from all #GeogChat
