When precision in core knowledge allows for precision in vocab like never before🤝The list of the top 20 keywords needed to secure knowledge of our Y7 curriculum has been further mapped: When is this word taught? When it is revisited & applied? Have loved doing this thinking!
Ha! I drew the same diagram again this week. Forget GAC, there’s a definite circulation to the school year! 😆
Do you remember the good old days where we could see each others tweets & Twitter was a goldmine?! Grateful for Advanced Search helping me delve into the archive & find the best bits for GAC. Blog from @GeographyTom9, video from @lcgeography & diagrams from @_jopayne + others💚

Over the last few months, the Geographical Association has been working in partnership with BBC Teach on a couple of projects, designed to provide high-quality resources for geography teachers.
Following a review of BBC Teach video content, Jon Cannell (primary) and Fiona Sherriff (secondary), have created teacher notes to support these resources.
You can find out more about these resources and access them here: the-ga.org/BBCTeachGA and the-ga.org/BBCTeachGASec
