New Courses | Improving Outcomes in Geography & History

We are excited to be offering two brand new courses for the Exeter Consortium and  wider Teaching Schools South West membership during the  Summer 21 term.

On Monday 24th May, David Weatherly will be hosting an online 'Improving Outcomes in Geography: EYFS – Year 6' course.

Whilst on Friday 11th June, David will be hosting an online 'Improving Outcomes in History: EYFS – Year 6' course. Both sessions will run from 9.00am - 3.30pm.

Each day will focus on the key principles of designing and teaching a curriculum in Geography and History which is rigorous, fosters the development of young geographers/historians and which can be assessed in a practicable way. The sessions will be immersive and interactive with an emphasis throughout on reflective professional practice.
