Congratulations to Annabel from The Maynard School who is the 1st winner of our branch competition. Her winning entry had links to both physical + human geography, but also reflected on what Devon means to her. Thank you to the schools that entered and we look forward to seeing more next year.

Crawled to the end of term today. But this was an excellent reward 🎂

If you’re a #geographyteacher mentor or trainee teacher take a look at this blog from @gatepc.bsky.social on behalf of the @geographicalassoc.bsky.social to explore the wealth of resources available on the GA ITE pages ga-blog.org/2026/01/20/u...

So very excited and humbled to have been nominated to be @geographicalassoc.bsky.social President 2027-28. If you'd like to use your vote for me I would be very honoured. geography.org.uk/election-ga-...

I am really looking forward to the @geographicalassoc.bsky.social conference. My Y9 classes have been using sustainability stools to decide how sustainable it is to modernise salt mining in Ethiopia. I'll be sharing how I have used these throughout our curriculum in my session.

An evening listening to @guyshrubsole.bsky.social and others in Exeter was inspiring. So lovely to hear positive stories about the environment, and what is being done to protect our temperate rainforest. Left with so many ideas to update our lesson about temperate rainforest 🌳🌧

My 2nd Teaching Geography article (the last one was over 10 years ago...),so I'm feeling pretty proud today 🤓

What a day to have a fieldtrip, and it was my birthday 😍 😎 ☀️ ⛱️ #geographyteacherperks

Such a good time chatting all things geography after a busy day at school today. Huge thanks to everyone who came along, and here's hoping for more next time!

Loved my first session with my geography trainees last week. Some brilliant freebies for them from @geographicalassoc.bsky.social, brand new subject knowledge booklets I worked on last year, and new handouts to reduce their cognitive load. Fridays are the best 👌

Thanks @alanparkinson.bsky.social 's blog on @geographicalassoc.bsky.social work, + others: "Geography is curriculum heartland for climate edu, sustainability & green skills. Its distinctive approach focuses on interactions between people & environment" livinggeography.blogspot.com/2025/09/clim...

I will never regret moving to Devon 💙 😎

A bit of Geography at bedtime 🌎 🌍 🌏

One thing I've noticed from my review of the department this term is that students are unclear as to what they need to do to improve. So post mocks Y10s today, colour coded the exam qs to identify areas of improvement.

*Free event for Geography teachers in the Exeter area. Networking, coffee, listening to the brilliant @mattmattfinn.bsky.social* Sign up using the QR code

Well this looks *very* exciting for us geographers with an Iceland obsession www.waterstones.com/book/always-...

Walk up a hill with a view

Y11 spent some time today analysing an 8 mark exam question. They used three colours to spot the key criteria and examiner would look for: chains of reasoning, key terms and TLAG (thinking like a geographer) 🤔

This was my charity shop haul inspired by @fiona-sheriff.bsky.social 📚🌍

Fieldwork yesterday was ☀️ 💙

This is my a. Best view from a playground b. The best geographical addition to a playground 🌧

Very excited to be sharing this: A working group is planned (following many conversations! @geographicalassoc.bsky.social ) to share expertise and ideas for the teaching of global geographical issues. To learn more and join us, link here: forms.gle/Taf9WNqJH989... #GAConf25 @geogmum.bsky.social

This is my tree Carbon calculator that I shared at my talk. #GAConf25 🌳 Have a go! Good for in the field crunching. teachgeogs.com/treecarbon.php

Had to skip in and out of the GA public lecture this evening for the bedtime routine, but *so* worth it to see @anjanakhatwa.bsky.social in action. What a start to the @geographicalassoc.bsky.social conference and buzzing for tomorrow 👏 #GAConf25

A fab first GA Worldwise Quiz for the Exeter GA branch with some tough questions. Congratulations to Chulmleigh, who were our inaugural winners! 🏆🥇🗺 🤓

Geography educators last week to book tickets for the GA conference! Keynote on Thursday will be Paras Chandaria who is coming from Nairobi just to deliver this lecture on Nairobi National Park, a place close to his heart. Book tickets here geography.org.uk/events-cpd/g...

geographyteachers, you have 2 weeks to get your @The_GA conference tickets booked! We have a great variety of sessions on the theme of connected geographies. Starting us off will be the public lecture from @anjanakhatwa.bsky.social. very excited for this one!

I was *so* delighted that a Y9 student chose to write her postcard about Nigeria in her native language of Yoruba. It showed just how important it is that we include the voices of people from the countries we teach. Esp as I made such a rookie error with the national dish 🤦🏼‍♀️ (Now corrected)

If you teach at a school in or near Exeter, let us know if you'd like to join the GA Worldwise Quiz we are running on 26th March. Details in the picture attached 📸 (click to see more) 🌍🌏🌎 🤓❓️📝

Discovered this fantastic resource yesterday when looking for stories of real people who have migrated to the UK for a Y7 lesson. Next week, students will be drawing the key parts of Nurul's story while listening to it. They will then describe to their partners childmigrantstories.com

Climate science and related disciplines (like social & economic science on climate change impacts & solutions) is constantly envolving. Here are some new and updated resources to give your teaching and learning up to date #ClimateChange #GeographyTeacher

Really try to build up the knowledge of our students so Y11 geographers all now have their own set of flashcards to take home. Reducing the cognitive load and providing them with the correct knowledge based on wording from the spec #eduqasb #gcsegeography

If you are a teacher in the Exeter/East Devon area then we have plans for some new events coming up soon! Follow this account for more information #Exeter #geographyteachers

Fantastic session this morning with the SWTT trainees looking at literacy in geography, the use of schemas, and what an A Level geography curriculum should have (linked back to curriculum ideologies from our 1st session) 🤓

| Canadian Rockies Glaciers | The demise of Rae Glacier. Shown is the rapid transition from 1985; to 1990 when repetitive negative mass balance years decimated the remaining mass of ice; and finally, to 2024, when all that was left were scant remnants of ice on the cirque backwall. RIP Rae Glacier.

Great KS3 Geography resources from GTE colleagues. Looking forward to hearing more about how these are being used geography.org.uk/resources/gl...
