Free 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 seventh 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, this course is completely free to attend with accommodation included and all travel within the UK reimbursed.
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 2017 GEA
The 2017 Geoscience Education Academy ran from Tuesday 25 to Friday 28 July. Highlights included a microscopy workshop with Zeiss, a talk by Prof Jo Morgan (Imperial College), a microfossils workshop at the Natural History Museum and an 'urban field trip'.
We hope to run the course again next year - if you would like to be informed when next years dates are confirmed please contact amy.ball@geolsoc.org.uk and we will add you to the list for our email newsletter for schools.
