Review
'Essentially a practical book, this deserves a place in every primary staffroom library' - Primary Geographer
Synopsis
The presence of geography in the National Curriculum in England and Wales means that for the first time teachers of children in the first years of school need to consider and monitor the distinctively geographical element in their teaching, whether they are teaching the subject directly as part of environmental education or in the context of a wider topic. Joy Palmer helps them to do so enjoyably, combining concise summaries of the latest research findings about how children learn geographical concepts with transcripts of classroom conversation, case studies and suggestions for the development and implementation of sound geographical work in practice. Particular attention is devoted to the relations between geography and environmental education and the practical examples throughout the book take account of teaching and learning across the whole spectrum of geography and "environmental geography". A final section provides a brief guide to resources available to the teacher, including story books and computer programmes.
