Teaching about Distant Localities - CPD activities

Young people today are frequently exposed to media images of 'the South', yet these images often leave a wholly distorted, largely negative impression.

The following activities are aimed at enriching teachers' understanding of the importance of teaching about localities in the South and for helping to acquire strategies for ensuring successful learning outcomes.

CPD activity: Icebreakers - 'Catch the World!' and 'Globingo for grown-ups!'
CPD activity: Why teach about localities in the South? - 'Brainstorming localities in the South', 'Learning from Locality Studies' and 'What are our concerns?'
CPD activity: Choosing a locality - gaining consensus
CPD activity: An enquiry approach - 'Why is this place special?'
CPD activity: Using stories - sharing ideas for the use of stories in the study of localities
CPD activity: Choosing a locality pack - using a checklist to select resources
