Quality Geography for All Conferences

Book online

These Quality Geography Conferences for primary and KS3 will explore the nature, effects and impact of the Geography Quality Marks. They aim to provide a great opportunity to discuss and develop what we mean by 'quality geography' in both the primary and secondary phases.

  • Central London: Tuesday 3 March 2009
  • Birmingham: Tuesday 10 March 2009
Quality Marks

The conferences will identify elements of quality geography exemplified through work from Quality Mark schools, and will look in detail at how schools can prepare for, work towards and achieve the Quality Marks.

Examples of good practice will be taken from a range of schools and will include evidence submitted from those schools who have been awarded the secondary Centre of Excellence status or the primary Gold Award.

Teachers already participating in the Primary and Secondary Geography Quality Mark schemes will lead workshops and share how they have supported and developed quality geography in their schools.

Outcomes

  • Raised understanding of what quality geography looks like in either the primary school or at KS3.
  • Review and discuss evidence from Quality Mark schools.
  • Understand the detail of how to achieve the Quality Mark Award including how to achieve primary Gold or secondary Centre of Excellence status.
