D Burgess 🌍

Head of Geography vacancy in Cambridge. Great team of subject specialists, passion for curriculum, fieldwork & trips prioritised, super results, new sixth form in 2024. I'm very sad to be leaving - a great place to work! Deadline:Wed 21st #geographyteacher tes.com/jobs/vacancy/h…

@DoctorPreece @mildthing99 @Miss__Angell Thank you both! I'll send you a DM in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, more information about the lecture programme is here: cambournevc.org/news-and-event…

@mildthing99 @GeographyBurp @Miss__Angell Likewise - happy to help online if I can.

Grateful to speakers at the #gaconf22 who are willing to give up their time to speak to young people (online/in person). My school runs free public lectures for KS3/4 students & wider community, organised by the excellent @Miss__Angell. Please get in touch if you can run a talk.

@lcgeography @Miss__Angell Fantastic, thanks! A GIS one maybe? Will be in touch. :)

@GeographyBurp @Miss__Angell I could help you out with an online one if you like.

@GeoBlogs @Miss__Angell This would be fantastic! Ely isn't that far from Cambourne either, so perhaps a possibility of an in-person talk? Will be in touch when back in school. :)

@totalgeography @Miss__Angell Sounds great, thank you for replying! Will be in touch when back in school.

@GeographyBurp @Miss__Angell Happy to contribute on a child's geography from age 3-11 on 'Reflecting on what your Primary school (might have) taught you...?' or any way you think I could help encourage students to use their geography to teach under 11s by considering QTS....?

@ominologist Love these mnemonics! It's a huge topic and I may have bitten off more than I can chew. The talk is 50 minutes with a focus on KS3 curriculum design so I'll have to speed through a few things I think. Geological timescales will get a mention though!

After years of learning and lurking, I decided to be a bit braver and run a talk at the Geographical Association Conference. It's about our KS3 curriculum which aims to tell the story of us and our planet - looking back 4.5 billion years and ahead into the Anthropocene. #GAConf22

@geography_paul @deeptimewalk Thanks - the app looks great! Just downloaded.

@GeographyBurp Sounds awesome - have you heard of the @deeptimewalk - it’s a great app that guides your through a walk travelling through deep time 👍

@Miss__Angell Thanks Jess! A bit of this stems from the History community. @OliveyJacob's CPD session helped to consolidate a few things too (and finally persuaded me to read Willingham). I'll do a shout-out for Historic-All and Education-All and see if I can send some more speakers your way!

@GeographyBurp Sounds great Dion- hope it goes well!

The #gaconf21 is rocket fuel for the term ahead and beyond 🚀. Thanks to all the speakers and to @The_GA for organising everything online. A lot to take away, digest, and share with others when back in school.

Great talk from an inspiring @christopherpyle about climate change... featuring the death of the Ok glacier in Iceland ("It's not OK!"), how disciplinary knowledge about cold environments has changed, student agency, and leaving a legacy that empowers students to act.👍 #gaconf21

@GIS4Schools @Dav1dM0rgan @metoffice This looks great! I was in another session but definitely catching up with this one when the recordings come through.

We are launching a new home for Teaching with GIS at #GAConf21 this morning bit.ly/3s3RAIP Teaching tools, lesson ideas, data, training and community sharing. This is the floor, not the ceiling! #GIS

@lcgeography has to be one of the kings of GIS. Amazing YouTube channel as well - full of GIS explainers. Looking forward to watching some of these and have already recommended them to our PGCE student! #gaconf21 youtube.com/channel/UCfFiy…

@Jeremy_Williams @The_GA Great way to start the day, thank you. You have an excellent website too (bookmarked)! I think you mentioned you offer talks to schools? Would you be interested in joining our free public lecture series for students and wider community? @Education__All cambournevc.org/news-and-event…

Thanks for having me @The_GA, and for all your questions. Enjoy the rest of the day! #GAConf21

Really interesting session at the #GAConf21 with @Jeremy_Williams. Took some time to explore The Earthbound report website. Useful resources, including this further reading & podcast page on climate & race. earthbound.report/ccir/climate-a…. #geographyteacher @geoliteracy

All set for the Geographical Association conference on the big screen (well, the TV). Looking forward to spending the next couple of days learning about some great Geography. #gaconf21

Just watched an interesting talk about building thinking power by @ClareSealy. Plenty of geography here with advice about curriculum design and exploring sophisticated geographical schemas. Well worth a watch. #geographyteacher youtube.com/watch?v=E9LBpz…
