Careers in Geography
We continue with our careers weeks taking place throughout the year and we recently saw our Careers Week in Geography. All of our Careers Weeks this year are linked to the Skills Builder Framework and Geography chose to focus on PROBLEM SOLVING. During the lesson, students were able to consider where the subject of Geography can take them in the future, including looking at the career pathways of each teacher in the department. Students were set a problem solving task of how to tackle poverty in a country such as Niger and how to help the local villages. They then had the opportunity to explore how studying Geography can help to develop the skill of Problem Solving and what professions involve using Geography and Problem Solving skills.
