This engaging and stimulating book aims to radically re-shape and sharpen debates in geography education by taking an entirely fresh approach to both the subject and its place in secondary education.Key questions addressed in this book include:
The new focus on concepts represents a significant shift in how geography is to be taught in schools, yet there has been little extended discussion of what a ''concept-led'' approach to teaching and learning would entail. This book fills that void by examining geography''s key concepts, and providing teachers with a theoretically robust and practical approach to curriculum planning using a concept-led approach.
This is essential reading for all secondary geography teachers, trainee teachers and anyone involved with education and curriculum planning.
