The Post 16 & HE Phase Committee exists to promote the teaching and study of geography in the post-16 curriculum. It supports teachers in schools, colleges and universities through a range of activities and publications. Please contact Iain Palôt if you are interested in joining the Committee. This is your chance to make a difference!
Download these Terms of Reference to find out more about how the Post-16 & HE Committee works.
The Committee organises conferences, field trips and workshops on topics closely associated with post-16 geographical education.
We produce a newsletter, Geography Matters, which focuses on news and issues currently facing teachers involved in post-16 geographical and environmental education. The newsletter can be downloaded from the Geography Matters page.
We contribute to books and articles that provide a more in-depth examination of issues associated with teaching and learning in post-16 geography. These include curriculum planning, teaching, assessment, fieldwork and resources.
We also take part in forming GA working parties to look at emerging areas of concern in the post-16 geography curriculum, including issues relevant to vocational education.
The Committee spoke to geography students at three universities to find out about their experiences of studying geography at degree level. The video and audio interviews are ideal for sharing with Post-16 students who are considering doing a geography degree.
The RGS would like teachers to complete their ten minute questionnaire. The aim of this survey is to help the RGS (with IBG) better understand the place of quantitative methods in secondary education teaching in geography.
The Post 16 & HE Phase Committee is currently seeking feedback on the BTEC Level 3 Course on Environmental Sustainability. The Committee is interested in teachers' views on its content and its appropriateness for students in preparation for FE, HE and the workplace.
If you teach this course and would like to share your thoughts, please complete the questionnaire below. The results will be published in a future issue of Geography Matters.
