Expert advice whenever you need it
Arrange for a GA consultant to visit your school if you need help with a particular problem or if you're after some general geographical advice.
- Making judgements - our primary and secondary experts can support you in judging the quality and standard of your teaching and provide detailed feedback on how to improve
- You choose the theme - curriculum, resources, knowledge and skills progression... tell us what you need help with and we'll give you tailored advice
- Cost effective - our consultant will come to you so you don't need to worry about your travel expenses or supply cover costs
The whole process can take as long as you need it to, from a half day session targeting a specific issue to a series of regular consultant visits taking you through a structured improvement plan until you reach your goals.
You'll also receive a detailed report containing analysis and recommendations for you to work through at your own pace.
A focused CPD day on your choice of topic
If you and your colleagues need training on a specific area, why not organise an in-house CPD day through the GA?
- Flexible course content - fieldwork, physical processes, GIS... tell us what you're working to improve and our trainers will create a bespoke programme for you
- CPD in your area - join forces with other schools to create a local training day
- Save time and money - just like our consultancy service, our team will come to you so you don't need to pay travel expenses or supply cover costs
Our tailor-made CPD days are ideal for training a group of teachers in your own school. And better still, we'll arrange a session at a time and date that suits you.
The consultants include:
