Jen and Catherine have done an incredible job of pulling together the collected wisdom of dozens of geography teachers and others working in geography education. Between them they have managed to not only capture what geography teaching is, but also make a compelling case for what it could be. The book is filled with practical and actionable ideas and concrete examples of brilliant practice that will make geography come to life. I have no doubt that this book will make me a better teacher and a better head of department. * Mark Enser, head of geography, author and former geography subject lead for Ofsted * What is Geography Teaching, Now? captures the essence of the modern geography education community, showcasing its collaborative spirit, bringing together a wealth of insight and innovative practices from a wide range of contributors. It serves as an all-encompassing reference book, addressing multiple fa-cets of geography education today, from crafting curricula and designing lessons through to fieldwork and assessment. The book also explores innovative methods of integrating new technologies while keeping geographical learning at the forefront including the incorporation of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Written by active educators, the text provides an in-depth look at the critical issues shaping geography education today.


It prompts educators to think deeply about the subject, addressing themes such as decolonisation, gender representation and climate crisis education, while promoting the teaching of 'hopeful geographies'. This is a must-have text for anyone involved in geography education. The book's well-considered structure makes it ideal for both individual reading and as a collaborative tool for courses or departmental study. Each chapter combines theoretical insights with a wealth of practical suggestions, each written by practitioners with experience in each given area, providing invaluable CPD. Chapters conclude with reflective questions and resources for further exploration encouraging meaningful conversations within departments and ongoing professional growth. I can't wait to see this book in use in our geography departments! * Rob Chambers, national geography lead and trust sustainability lead, Astrea Academy Trust *.
