Published in 1994, this book is the result of the collaborative work undertaken at the Liverpool-based Geography INSET Primary Project (GIPP) over three years. It presents a series of chapters for primary teachers seeking to implement the Statutory Orders for Geography in the National Curriculum. Steering a middle course between the sophistications of a theoretical/methodological text and the over-simplifications of a tips-for-teachers' approach, the authors highlight the positive opportunities offered by the National Curriculum. At the same time they are critical of many aspects of the Statutory Orders, without losing sight of their objective to help teachers to improve the quality of primary geography teaching. The book is especially useful for INSET work for teachers who have already grappled with National Curriculum Geography and who will be adjusting to the post-Dearing rearrangements.
This book provides practical guidance for primary school teachers navigating the implementation of the National Curriculum for Geography. Authored by participants of the Geography INSET Primary Project (GIPP), the book aims to bridge the gap between theoretical geography texts and simplistic teaching guides. It focuses on leveraging the opportunities presented by the National Curriculum while critically addressing its Statutory Orders to enhance primary geography education. The content is particularly relevant for teachers adapting to post-Dearing curriculum changes.
The book is presented as a practical resource for primary school teachers, particularly those involved in INSET, who are tasked with implementing the National Curriculum for Geography. Its approach aims to be informative without being overly academic or overly simplistic, offering a balanced perspective on the curriculum's requirements and opportunities. The authors, drawing from a specific project, offer critical insights into the Statutory Orders while maintaining a focus on practical improvement in teaching quality. The text is positioned to assist educators in adapting to evolving educational frameworks.
