Following the release of the curriculum and assessment review in England, teachers of geography are presented with new opportunities to explore the transformative power of creative and critical thinking in lessons. The challenge for geography teacher educators and mentors is to support novice teachers to empower pupils to think geographically as they navigate an increasingly interconnected and changing world. In this lecture, Vicki will explore how teachers of geography, across all phases, can re-engage with the principles of curriculum making, grounded in geographical enquiry, as they re-imagine the role and significance of critical and creative thinking.
