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.
