I’ve included lots of books and research that you need to read if you’re becoming a geography teacher. I’ve also made summaries of some of them in case you didn’t want to read the whole thing. The main book I made a bigger document, and in the book you can find a large table that separates sections well. These will be useful towards your assignments. My assignments were around 78 marks.

Interview information I went to a few teacher ones as I lined them up over a week and made them wait before deciding. Usually you have to decide on the spot unless you’re the better candidate, they may wait.

I included an example of a fieldwork booklet. It is adaptable and sections can be removed depending on how much time you have. This school was huge and they walked around separately as we had 4 buses of students. Since we walked, I was the guide and mentioned all the prices etc. The school is deprived so you need to address misconceptions during evaluation on whether it was successful or not as the students will think these big shops are amazing/ or unaware due to their hometown being small. With a different school, we did the boat tour instead so they were able to easily take photos to annotate, write a lot and complete a full booklet (different to this booklet). In that booklet, the main difference was we added a map of the locations the boat goes and labelled it. Students made notes on each part. The boat tour guide may know some things, otherwise I (and you) know the information already to share. On the boat tour, you’ll see the giant boat that Bristol paid millions to move a few yards down for “regeneration” of the food shops nearby. When walking, we never saw it. Bristol has a lot of history and original butts, cranes etc. in the area which people may not know. Things like vegetation drainage, use of brown field sites etc. I included some information for you in case you are unaware, and some articles. With other schools, they decided to not visit Bristol.

Note: Catholic schools didn’t need any. Non-catholic schools, I used as a reminder with the behaviour policy as it is considered a serious misbehaviour if there is any discrimination (mixed student background). Usually it’s the wrong term used - so little reminders to use the word “different” rather than “weird” etc.
