Post 16 & HE Phase Committee
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. Members are drawn from these sectors and the Committee is currently seeking a PCGE teacher or NQT to assist with its work in promoting the subject, as well as experienced teachers. Please contact Mick Dawson 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 in the Post 16 & HE area of this website.
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.
|
We will continue to represent the GA at QCA subject meetings and will provide workshops and seminars at the GA Annual Conference in April 2006. We will continue to develop the Professional Development Unit which we have run at previous conferences.
We intend to work with the Publications and Communications Board to explore opportunities for developing print and web-based publications from field day conference materials. We will also continue producing the post-16 newsletter Geography Matters.
