New guidance from OFSTED has been released on the OFSTED website.
The guidance is available for a range of subjects, including GEOGRAPHY.
It is intended for those who inspect subjects, and includes some thoughts on generic grade descriptors as well as some draft supplementary guidance on areas such as the curriculum and the effectiveness of subject leadership.
The guidance is for consultation. You have until the end of July to provide your feedback...
As my concern (well, one of many things my job concerns) is with Curriculum Development, I was particularly interested in the statements relating to the assessment of the curriculum in geography.
The imaginative and stimulating geography curriculum is skilfully designed to match to the full range of pupils’ needs and to ensure highly effective continuity and progression in their learning
I also liked the comment on teaching:
Teachers communicate enthusiasm and passion about geography to pupils.
Good to see the importance of GIS, fieldwork and knowledge of current initiatives mentioned...
Well worth reading and adding your thoughts on...
