Geographical Association Annual Conference and Exhibition University of Surrey, Monday 14-Wednesday 16 April 2014 Geographical Association Annual Conference and Exhibition University of Surrey, Monday 14-Wednesday 16 April 2014 Full Conference Programme MONDAY 14 APRIL 09.30-16.00 Field Visit - 2012: creating a vision for East London £25 including lunch and transport All KS Bob Digby, GA Past President; Iain Palôt, Chair, GA P16 & HE Phase Committee; Helen Robertson, Head of Centre, Field Studies Council London; and John Widdowson, Consultant This field visit will explore how the Olympic Park, other official venues and east London in general might fare as a result of the London 2012 legacy plans. Taking in the East Village (the new suburb created by the Athletes’ Village), the South Park, the stadium, the velodrome and the former International Media Centre, this visit will give you up-to-date ideas for teaching. In partnership with Field Studies Council 12.00-15.00 The Association at Work 15.15-16.00 Annual Meeting 17.00-17.45 Public Lecture Free of charge Professor Iain Stewart, Chair in Geoscience Communication at the School of Earth, Ocean and Environment Sciences, University of Plymouth, will give this year’s public lecture: ‘From Geo- education to geocommunication: new rules of engagement’. Television and the mass media offer exciting ways to get geographical content to a broader public but achieving that greater reach brings challenges about both the medium and the message. What can we learn from how geographical knowledge and issues are packaged and framed in popular culture and what are the opportunities (and threats) from alternative social media communications? GA Annual Conference and Exhibition 2014 www.geography.org.uk/conference 17.45-18.30 Awards Presentations Free of charge The presentations will include the GA Publishers' Awards, recognising materials which make a significant contribution to school geography, the Frederick Soddy Awards, supporting school fieldwork and expeditions, and recognition of individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the GA and geography teaching. 18.30-19.30 Wine Reception Free of charge Join us for a complimentary wine reception after the Public Lecture and Awards Presentations. 19.30-22.30 Conference Dinner £35 The Conference Dinner will be held at the University of Surrey following the Public Lecture, Awards Presentations and wine reception. The price includes a three-course meal, coffee, and two bottles of wine plus juice and water on each table. 18.45-21.30 Brewery Tour £20 This visit commences at 20.00 with a guided tour of Surrey Hills Brewery. Sample three different beers while a tour guide talks you though the brewery’s history and the brewing process. Price includes a pre-tour pie and pea supper at the University and return transport. TUESDAY 15 APRIL 09.00-09.50 Lecture Plus 1 Global learning: making the transition KS2–3 Dr Paula Owens, Curriculum Development Leader, Geographical Association and Steve Brace Head of Education and Outdoor Learning, Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) The Global Learning Programme (GLP) for KS2–3 is already helping to develop transition projects that enable powerful joined up thinking between different schools. This session will showcase the work of the GA and the RGS on the GLP so far, and outline the possibilities for working with schools in your area. GA Annual Conference and Exhibition 2014 www.geography.org.uk/conference Lecture 1 ‘Lies, damned lies and statistics’ KS3–P16 Hetan Shah, Executive Director, Royal Statistical Society Data and statistics are everywhere and cut across everything. This session will explore how statistics can contribute to geography teaching, and how we can help young people cut through the ‘lies, damned lies and statistics’. Lecture Plus 2 The future of assessed fieldwork KS4–P16 Rob Lucas, Chief Executive, Field Studies Council; and Andy Owen, GCSE Subject Officer, and Alison Doogan A-level Geography Subject Officer, WJEC Recent GCSE and A-level reforms have led to a debate about how fieldwork should be assessed. In this session, the Field Studies Council will present the case for engaging students with problem-solving fieldwork, while officers from WJEC will discuss how fieldwork enquiry can be assessed at GCSE and A-level. Sponsored by WJEC Workshop 1 Making Maps EY–KS1 Emily Rotchell, Senior Lecturer, Roehampton University This session will focus on using maps with very young children. We will consider what types of maps we might use in the EYFS and KS1 but most of the session will be dedicated to making maps that you can take away with you and use in the classroom. Workshop 2 MAGICAL Project: Exploring collaborative game-making within geography KS2–3 Susan Bermingham, Senior Lecturer and Dr James Duggan, Research Assistant, Manchester Metropolitan University MAGICAL is a European project that is exploring collaborative design of educational games by primary and lower secondary students. We are investigating the impact this can have on learning, especially on support for key transversal skills such as strategic thinking and creativity. In the session we will be actively designing games and sharing early findings from our research. Workshop 3 Notes and queries about the physical world KS3–4 Duncan Hawley, Chair, GA Physical Geography Special Interest Group This session will support teachers who want to feel more secure in teaching physical geography by exploring and developing participants’ subject knowledge and teaching approaches. Topic needs can be registered in advance. Presented by GA Physical geography Special Interest Group GA Annual Conference and Exhibition 2014 www.geography.org.uk/conference Workshop 4 25 ways to use the Masarang Sustainable Development Project in your lessons KS3–P16 Alex Murchie, Victoria Shangai Academy, and Chris Durbin, English Schools Foundation, Hong Kong The Masarang Foundation in Indonesia fights deforestation, wildlife extinction and child poverty by implementing low-cost solutions that are actively supported by the local population. This session will demonstrate 25 practical ways to incorporate the work of Masarang Foundation into your IB Diploma Geography, A-level or IGCSE curriculum. 10.10-11.00 Presidential Lecture Crossing boundaries All KS Professor Hazel Barrett, 2013–14 President, Geographical Association As geography educators we are constantly crossing boundaries between levels in our education system and geographical boundaries, as well as pushing back the boundaries of the subject of geography itself. This session will explore how geography crosses subject as well as human and physical boundaries. It will give examples of how the subject has been enriched by this openness to ideas and concepts from other subjects and how this has enabled geographers to make significant contributions to how we view and engage with the world in which we live. Workshop 5 The world from our doorstep: global education for young children EY–KS1 Katie Carr, Director, Cumbria Development Education Centre This session will introduce methods of engaging very young children with the concepts of interconnectedness, sustainability and fairness through the use of stimulating learning resources, such as story books and topic boxes, and approaches such as storytelling, outdoor/experiential learning and enquiry. Workshop (IT) 6 Using Google Earth Tours and Prezi KS2–P16 Richard Treves, Learning Developer, University of Southampton Google Earth is the leading GIS package used in UK schools. In this session we will look at a powerful but under-used feature to build presentations: Google Earth Tours. We will also investigate the potential of using Prezi to enhance presentation of maps and spatial data. GA Annual Conference and Exhibition 2014 www.geography.org.uk/conference 11.10-11.30 Teacher-to-Teacher Using Google Earth with young learners KS2 Gregory Davies, PGCE Student, University of East London Google Earth is a fantastic tool for bringing places to life and helping students visualise distant locations. We believe that by using their own town as a focal point, exploring the world at a variety of scales in 3D helps students to understand distances much more effectively than using a textbook. Teacher-to-Teacher Making maps meaningful at key stage 3 KS3 Rachel Giacipazzi, PGCE Student, Goldsmiths University, London If maps are meaningful at all scales, to all abilities, a whole new dynamic can be commonplace in the classroom. This session will focus on connecting OS map work to pupils’ personal geographies. Participants can discuss issues and problems they have when tackling map work. 11.45-12.10 Research Paper Educating geographers to ‘Teach First’ Mary Fargher, Lecturer in Geography Education, Institute of Education, London and Lucy Gray, Subject Leader for Geography, Feltham Community College This session explores the role of university-school partnerships in educating geographers to ‘Teach First’. It begins with an overview of the Teach First route into secondary school geography teaching, highlighting its key features, opportunities and challenges both for participants and teacher educators. 11.45-12.35 Lecture 2 The new National Curriculum: it’s not the end of geography as we know it KS3–4 David Rogers, Assistant Headteacher, Patcham High School, Brighton No curriculum document is ever going to be exciting; it’s our role as teacher to subvert it. Gove, Ofsted and SLT do not kill serendipity. This lecture will explore the opportunities presented by the new National Curriculum and suggest ways in which you can cover the new content creatively.
