It has been really helpful to have someone point me in the right direction as to the best ways to gather evidence for the accreditation

Geography teacher and future CGeog (Teacher) applicant


While you are working towards Chartered Geographer (Teacher) status you can request to be matched with a mentor who will offer support and guidance towards gaining the experience necessary to be awarded Chartered status.

Why should I request a mentor?

  • To benefit from the knowledge of a current Chartered Geographer who will support you in gaining the necessary experience and knowledge to fulfil the criteria for Chartered Geographer (Teacher)
  • Encourages the sharing best practice and geographical skills and knowledge
  • To support the creation of CPD networks within local regions and between schools
  • To open up new contacts, networks, ideas and opportunities

How do I request a mentor?
Once you have decided to apply for Chartered Geographer (Teacher) status, please contact Claire at cgeogteacher@rgs.org. You can request a mentor at any point in your teaching career, even if you have not yet reached the required 6 years of teaching to achieve Chartered status. Once a mentor has been requested you will be matched to a Chartered Geographer in your local area (if available), your contact details will be swapped, and you and the mentor will then be responsible for arranging communication.
