Training for UK teachers
The Geoscience Education Academy (GEA) offers UK secondary school teachers a great opportunity to understand how to teach the geoscience part of the curriculum if it is not their principal subject, as well as existing Earth science teachers who may need a refresher and some new material.
Now in its eight year, the GEA provides curriculum led training and support for science and geography teachers across the UK. Held at the Geological Society, Burlington House, London.
With training given by experienced teachers/examiners, the GEA is a fully accredited CPD training course. A complete pack of teaching resources is available to all attendees.
The GEA will be running again in 2019 from 23-26 July. Registrations will open in early 2019. if you wat to find out more about the GEA in the meantime contact the Education Team.
