Online TeachMeet: embedding careers education into the curriculum

In this online session, we will be asking geography teachers to share their ideas for implementing careers education into the geography curriculum.

TeachMeets are a great way to find out what fellow teachers are doing in the classroom and beyond. At this careers focused TeachMeet, delegates will be able to view around five individual sessions from a variety of geography teachers and educators, and take away a range of ideas and resources linked to geographical careers.

Mingle with the geographical community online and collect ideas to enhance your careers education!
