Upcoming training events for Geography qualifications

Geography autumn network events (free)

This autumn’s free Geography GCSE and AS/A Level network events are now available for booking. There are places for both online and face-to-face events.

Our free network events are an opportunity for colleagues teaching the Pearson Edexcel GCSE Geography (9-1) and/or AS/A level Geography specification to discuss new ideas and share best practice with our geography specialists and colleagues from other schools. Our PD events count towards your CPD hours.

Watch Andrea's "view from the road":

During autumn 2019, our network events will focus on:

• lessons learnt from the 2019 exams
• key themes in candidate performance in the 2019 exam papers
• practical guidance on how to address these key themes through teaching or exam preparation.

Updates to some of the materials for International GCSE Geography

We’ve made some amendments to two documents in the teaching and learning materials section for the International GCSE. Please have a look at the updated Examiner marked student exemplars for paper 2 and the Paper 2 mark scheme for the specimen papers. You’ll find a summary of changes at the start of both documents.

New support materials for International GCSE Global Citizenship

There are a couple of new support materials for IGCSE Global Citizenship to look out for. Firstly, there is a booklet of examiner-marked student responses to the sample assessment materials that you may find useful. There is also a new training event available in the teaching and learning materials, it’s the Getting Ready to Teach the International GCSE in Global Citizenship.

I hope you found this update useful. Feel free to get in touch if you have further questions.
