Teacher Education (GTIP)
Welcome to the Teacher Education (GTIP) Area
This part of the GA website is designed to support geography teacher educators. It provides a wealth of ideas, resources, reading lists and weblinks. Some parts of GTIP, particularly the Think Pieces and the Library, may be of interest to a wider audience of mentors, teachers and PGCE students and to geography teacher educators in other countries.

Researchers in Residence, a nationwide school placement scheme, is looking to recruit early-stage researchers and help develop their public engagement and other transferable skills. The scheme places PhD and post doctoral researchers in host secondary schools to run innovative projects or demonstrations to enrich the learning experiences of 11-19 year olds.
