Professional Recognition - Geography Teaching Today

Introduction

Led By: Geographical Association & RGS-IBG

Through the Action Plan for Geography and other initiatives, many colleagues will be creating work in geography education that should righly be celebrated, shared and recognised. This is both exciting and significant.

Professional recognition creates the opportunity to make new connections and become part of a network of geography educators. It also demonstrates to parents, pupils and senior leaders the significant contributions that geography teachers and geography education can make to a young person's success and achievements.

The RGS-IBG will be further developing the innovative Chartered Geographer (Teacher) status and the GA will promote and celebrate the Primary and Secondary Geography Quality Marks.

If you are participating in any Action Plan for Geography activity (either online or face to face) or using any Action Plan for Geography resources or stimulus, then you will be automatically generating evidence that could contribute towards the successful completion of any of these 3 professional recognition opportunities.
