Action Plan for Geography - Communication Strand
The communication strand will inform and advise people in all walks of life about geography. It will encourage stakeholders to be actively involved in the Action Plan, particularly teachers and pupils. It will enthuse and activate teachers with the relevance of geography to the education of 21st century citizens.
The GA will be contributing to two areas of work in the communication strand. We will be doing this alongside our colleagues at the RGS-IBG.

A new website, Geography Teaching Today (GTT), will be developed. It will be the focal point for teachers’ engagement with the Action Plan. It will:
- Raise awareness of what support already exists to enhance teaching and learning in geography
- Profile and share the development of progressive and distinctive geographical study across all phases
- Make available the outcomes of the APG to the widest possible audience
- Serve as a source of information to education managers and leaders, and to the wider public, to raise awareness of what geography contributes to education
|
The successful delivery of the Action Plan proposals will require dedicated champions who will play an active role representing the Plan and its activities to the teaching community, to wider stakeholders, and to the DfES and relevant agencies.
Part of the role will be to raise the understanding of the potential contribution of geography to wider educational agendas within the DfES and to provide advice to the DfES as to the options that exist for enhancing the contribution of geography for the benefit of education as a whole.
Rita Gardner, CE of the RGS-IBG and David Lambert, CE of the GA will be fulfilling this role.
