"Geography teachers are learners too. The geography curriculum should be seen as a creative act of interpretation and interaction - curriculum making rather than transmission. Relevant intellectual and creative experiences in geography education are an important part of your professional development. Participation in relevant 'learning communities' can make a significant contribution to this process of professional learning."
Balderstone, D and Lambert, D (2006) Sustaining school geography in Balderstone, D (ed) Secondary Geography Handbook, Sheffield: Geographical Association.
