GTIP Think Pieces

A pupil sits in thought

These 'Think Pieces' are intended to inform, to encourage reflection on a range of themes and issues, and to provide practical support for tutors planning PGCE sessions.

Each one includes a short introduction and a series of key questions that you should consider in relation to the topic area. They also contain suggestions for what should be included in a geography PGCE course together with some activities for sessions, a reading list and appropriate weblinks.

The Think Piece have been divided into 'Primary' and 'Secondary and Post 16' in the list below.

Although each Think Piece was written with a focus on the needs of either primary or secondary teacher educators, most Think Pieces are likely to be of wider interest.
