Very excited about our upcoming Global Oceans unit. I've been working on a decision-making lesson about ocean resources, including seabed mining, fishing and wave power. Should each type of economic activity be stopped, restricted or encouraged? #geogchat #GeographyMastery #ArkCurriculumPlus

When you try to combine work and childcare....Probably serves me right for trying to finish something off on a Bank Holiday morning. Have a lovely long weekend all!
Thoroughly enjoyed my first Geographical Association Conference. Was fantastic to meet so many of my geography-community colleagues in real life! Surreal! #geogchat @geographicalassoc.bsky.social
Delighted to share with you all that I'm now working full time at AC+ in my new role of Head of Subject for Secondary Geography. Strange not to be teaching, but now I get to visit a different school each week!
Alright squad, tonight's question:
What's the thing you've seen this year that you thought "wow that's a great idea I'm going to do that" and then done it? Could be within your school, or something you saw online or whatever. Anything goes, T&L, behaviour, curriculum, leadership etc
Excellent position at Ark Globe, brilliant team, brilliant teaching, central London location. arkcareersweb.eploy.net/vacancies/46...
Very excited for our very first Geography Mastery track at AC+ Conference 2025!
Sunday listen right here 🤜🤛

Too much time is wasted on the what in education rather than the how.
Centralising your department's resources frees up time for teachers to focus on what truly matters!
This is why we centralise our resources and why you should too 👇

Bluesky is scratching that itch to be able to follow good and reliable information of fast moving international developments that twitter used to. No conspiracy theories or trolls. Quick, efficient, reliable information from reputable journalists. I missed this so much.
Happy to chat also!
Has anyone gone down a route of teaching using curriculum booklets even when it’s not a whole-school requirement?
Seriously thinking about investing the time into creating them for GCSE but not 100% convinced yet.

I’ve always been anti booklets but I’m looking at saving lesson time and having a greater focus on students learning and practising in lesson rather than ‘doing’
Would love to talk to someone about their rationale and how you find them in practice.
Yes we use them at GCSE in the Ark network. Very helpful to have a core text, figures to annotate, and related questions, exam exemplars. We made them during covid and are still using them.
Needs ideas for GIS that models sea level rise or ice melt for a Year 8 lesson. What ya got for me?
Taking in all the magic of Ark Elvin Academy before I start my new full time role at Ark Curriculum Plus in January. Has been an incredible 5 years where I've learned so much.

Oh no!
Mass bleaching of corals on the Great Barrier Reef in early 2024 was the most severe and most widespread yet recorded - surpassing 1998, 2002, 2016, 2017, 2020 & 2022.
The overall mortality rate this year will exceed the 30% loss in 2016. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
