Geography & English: Why argue?
Organised by the Geographical Association, in partnership with the National Association for the Teaching of English (NATE)

Funded by the Department for Education and Skills Innovation Unit
|
The ‘Geography & English: Why argue?’ explored teaching and learning strategies to support young people in developing a sense of identity. The project involved up to six schools. In each school geography and English colleagues worked together to develop key stage 3 teaching and learning opportunities that: - Develop teachers understanding of active citizenship.
- Broaden teachers pedagogic repertoire to challenge young people when considering issues connected with identity.
- Appreciate a curriculum that acknowledges the social responsibility of education.
- Consider pedagogies that are appropriate to the creation of democratically active citizens and the nature and ramifications of a multi-cultural society.
The teachers work relating to the project is currently being reviewed and will appear on these webpages in the summer term 2005.
A full explanation of the project can be downloaded below, as can an executive summary of the report.
