GTIP - A Project to Support Teacher Educators
Supported by the Training and Development Agency for Schools
This part of the GA website is designed to support geography PGCE tutors. 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.

You can now browse the bibliographies from selected titles in the GA's Theory into Practice series. View the bibliographies. (29.05.09)
Three new Think Pieces were recently added to the site:
Using Games in Geography considers what games and role plays can offer and how they can be used effectively to enrich present day geographical education. (15.04.09)
Geography and Happiness explores how geography education can help to promote deep-seated and lasting happiness. (06.04.09)
Planning and Developing the Curriculum is in two parts and provides an introduction to the key issues and offers practical guidance for PGCE students. Suggested templates and approaches are also provided for critical consideration. (25.02.09) The Spring 2009 Issue of GeogEd is now online. (15.04.09)
Six new extracts from the GA's Theory into Practice publications have been added to the library. The aim of Theory into Practice is to take aspects of current research into geographical education and relate them directly to classroom practice. (13.03.09)
Materials from the 2009 GTE Conference are now available to download from the GTE Conferences page. (16.02.09)
The Bibliography was updated on 11.02.09 and contains listings of selected journal articles related to geography and geography education published in the last ten years.
