Geography Teaching Today

How much time am I committing to?
We are grateful for your enthusiasm and time as we recognise that you also have study and work priorities to balance. Some volunteers, after training, may only wish to commit to an initial ambassador visit with a total time commitment of just a couple of hours. Others, finding the experience very rewarding, will develop a longer relationship with the pupils and the school or even visit other schools in their region. At whichever level ambassadors are involved they are expected to abide by a professional code of conduct and show enthusiasm and full commitment to the aims of the project.

What kind of training is offered?
Ambassadors are required to attend a three hour training session. A variety of dates and regional locations are offered over the coming months. Please check the grey box on the right for dates and times.

Training will be lively and hands on with the aim of ensuring ambassadors are clear and comfortable in their new role and confident to deliver a presentation to a group of secondary pupils. Additional resources and support will be given to all ambassadors based on the ‘menu of activities’ above. Ambassadors will also be required to complete a CRB form and provide details of their availability.
