Curriculum Making with Geography :
A Professional Glossary

This glossary provides key distinctions and some explanations. Its purpose is to clarify the professional language in the field of geography curriculum development.

It is neither definitive nor inclusive. It doesn't tackle all the professional language in teaching and learning - just the key ideas in relation to the geography curriculum. The list below is just a beginning and the glossary could grow to be more inclusive in the future. Let us know what you think...
