Geography

Course summary

Our new specification will excite your students’ minds, challenge perceptions, and stimulate their investigative and analytical skills. Whilst new units have been added to reflect the world today, you’ll see it’s retained much of the topics you and your students enjoy, including hazards and population. We created it with the help of experienced teachers, so we’re confident you’ll find it practical to teach too. Content enables you to teach AS simultaneously with the first year of A-level, allowing for maximum flexibility in lesson timetabling and teaching resources. We want to make the transition to this new qualification as smooth for you as possible, so we’ve created a number of resources. These include clear and inspiring schemes of work, lesson plans, and a toolkit designed to help you with the new fieldwork requirements. All of this will help you provide your students with the knowledge, skills, and enthusiasm sought by higher education and employers.
