Yet another session has taken placed at the Wide Horizons Curriculum centre this month. This time the session focussed on positive behaviour management techniques. With many people worried about the challenging behaviour they might face from secondary pupils, this session was a chance to put together a behaviour management toolkit with an expert in the field; Gill Chenery. Previously a geography teacher and, until recently, an advisor on attendance and behaviour management for the National Strategies. She now works as an independent consultant delivering training. So, if you are interested in getting some expert advice for your education team, or want to browse through her resources, visit the website: gillcheneryassociates
FSC London East and the Royal Geographical Society (RGS) organised a training day for the South East London geography teachers network. The session was held in the ViewTube classroom, run by the FSC, which overlooks the Olympic Park. The afternoon session inspired teachers to think about creative ways to carry out fieldwork in urban environments. The RGS activities are available on their fieldwork education web pages. www.geographyteachingtoday.org.uk/fieldwork/
