How many of us geography teachers talk about access to beaches as common land...? I certainly thought it was, but it's not always. www.brecher.co.uk/news/trouble... This links to a private land owner preventing access to beaches... Who owns land- big question!

This doesn't bode well for #geography, we barely get any applications for jobs and didn't get a single one for maternity cover...😬

We are implementing a whole school approach to spoken communication using 'think, pair, share' does anyone know if there is research on how long staff should give to students to make it really purposeful? Is there too much time? @alexjquigley.bsky.social @didau.bsky.social

I'm trying to work out this question... Am I wrong in thinking this question doesn't work. I'm thinking they want to locate it on one grid square (1km by 1km), but that's not the same as 2sets of 500m2? One grid square is 1million M2 isn't it? @fiona-sheriff.bsky.social @geodougie.bsky.social

How many categories are there in GCSE geography, when was it updated...?! I know #ocr feels very outdated...! 🤔

When people talk about countries as “rich” or “poor”, they can mean many different things. But for researchers and policymakers, it helps to have a way to compare countries by income using clear criteria. 🧵
