013056 Geography Teaching Methods 2

Professional Practice in Geography 2 (Secondary) builds on Professional Practice in Geography 1, to develop students' understanding and practice of learning and teaching Geography in stages 4, 5 and 6 (years 7 and 8, 9 and 10, and 11 and 12 respectively). The subject aims to provide students with the skills, knowledge, understanding, values and attitudes required of an effective beginning teacher of Geography in secondary school. This subject is closely associated with Professional Experience (Practicum). An emphasis is placed on professional aptitude and commitment, and current developments in teaching and learning, particularly with regard to the NSW Board of Studies Syllabus' documents presently in use, as well as reflection on teaching practice.
