Leading a department is an exciting prospect for teachers. Join us for a day of leadership guidance to help build your confidence, covering topics such as how to succeed as a leader, curriculum planning and development, departmental vision, fieldwork and how to support non specialist teachers.
We welcome teachers at any stage of their career, however this event will be tailored towards teachers who are aspiring to be a Head of Geography in the near future, or have recently taken on the role. The event will also provide ample opportunity for you to network with teachers from a range of schools who are at a similar career stage.
