Getting to grips with enquiry 2018 slideshareDavid Rogers
Slide to support a session that explored the application of Geographical Enquiry to the classroom and sequences of lessons. Given to University of Portsmouth Geography ITT students on 12th October 2018.
Staff room notices - helping to establish an evidence informed cultureDavid Rogers
The document discusses education at universities and how it traditionally worked by bringing together young people and books with the hope that knowledge would pass between them, similar to how young people would gather at inns and taverns to socialize. It notes the similarity in the approaches despite different intentions, with education relying on proximity and socialization to facilitate learning rather than direct instruction.
1. Teachers need a curriculum and schemes of work to guide their lessons and ensure coverage of essential content.
2. Effective teaching strategies include using starters, testing, and retrieval practice to reinforce learning. Teachers should also incorporate extended writing assignments and focus on teaching challenging concepts rather than superficial "pants" work.
3. To achieve excellence, teachers must consider the holistic development of students and ensure their lessons, contacts, experiences and self-image support full growth beyond just academic achievement. Regularly revisiting foundational knowledge is also important.
This document contains a collection of personal anecdotes and accomplishments that demonstrate perseverance in achieving long term goals despite challenges or setbacks. Examples include completing a doctorate through 6 years of part-time study, learning to swim after decades of lessons, running ultra marathons after being told one couldn't, and helping a student reduce anxiety over 3 years. Also mentioned is keeping a beard as a reminder to follow one's dreams.
This document discusses priorities for change and managing that change effectively. It emphasizes identifying the main priority or "main thing", creating a vision and plan to address it, and monitoring impact over time. Key aspects of managing change include understanding the current situation, desired future state, steps to close the gap, and metrics to track progress. Sharing ideas and gaining input from others is also highlighted. The overall message is the importance of keeping the primary focus clear and strategically managing initiatives for progress.
Students were divided into four groups based on their grit scores from the Duckworth grit test: gritty and exceeding expectations, gritty and below expectations, not gritty and exceeding expectations, not gritty and below expectations. Various data about the groups such as their academic progress, attendance, proportion receiving pupil premium funding (likely low-income), and gender proportions is shown in charts. The document examines differences between these grit groups.
Is there a link between extra curricular clubs and attendanceDavid Rogers
This study examines strategies to reduce absenteeism among disadvantaged ("Pupil Premium") students. The researchers hypothesize that an intervention involving weekly meetings between students and administrators, and participation in extracurricular activities, will increase students' connection to school and improve attendance. Preliminary findings show positive correlations between extracurricular participation and higher perceived teacher support, school attendance, and student happiness. The full study will analyze these relationships further and compare the results to existing literature on improving school engagement and outcomes for at-risk youth.
Rapid urbanization can lead to overcrowding, strain on services like schools, unplanned building development, lack of sanitation and clean drinking water, and lack of tax revenue to fund services. Urbanized basins with steep valleys, deforestation, large catchment areas, and saturated soils are more likely to experience flashy hydrographs during rainfall events. Methods to manage flooding include hard engineering solutions like dams, flood walls, and embankments as well as softer strategies like afforestation and flood plain zoning. Coastal erosion can be addressed through hard structures like sea walls and groynes or softer approaches such as managed retreat and beach replenishment.
The document provides details on 12 case studies related to geography revision. Case Study 5 examines a proposed planned development of 10,000 new homes in Mid Sussex, UK. The private developers aim to meet housing demand while reducing pressure on small villages and larger towns. Advantages include easing housing pressure, limiting urban sprawl, providing infrastructure in one development rather than many additions, and boosting local jobs and services. However, the development would replace low-grade farmland and impact the sparse local population.

This document discusses how every decision you make shapes who you become in the future. It advises the reader to look at who they want to be and start taking actions that sculpt themselves into that person, even if they don't end up exactly where they planned. The key message is for the reader not to just drift through life and randomly become an adult they don't want to be, but to actively work on becoming the person they envision.
Mark scheme for the geographical enquiryDavid Rogers
This document outlines a mark scheme for assessing a geographical enquiry. It provides descriptors for assessing students' knowledge and understanding, application, and skills. For knowledge and understanding, it evaluates the details students recall about their hypothesis, the terms they use, their understanding, and the conclusions they draw. For application, it assesses how students apply their knowledge to geographical ideas, concepts and theories. For skills, it evaluates the techniques students use to collect, present, and analyze data, how they evaluate their methods and data, and their communication skills. It also provides notes advising students that they do not need to write a methodology, and giving strategies for students to access marks related to applying their wider geographical understanding. Finally, it outlines some
Controlled assessment guidance and linksDavid Rogers
This document provides instructions for a controlled assessment on coastal management in Start Bay, England. It outlines three parts to the assessment: 1) Writing an introduction to describe the location, reasons for choosing Start Bay, and historical flooding events. 2) Telling the story of how the village of Hallsands was washed away by the sea. 3) Setting up an investigation with a hypothesis, key questions, and description of fieldwork techniques to answer the questions. Maps, photographs and additional resources are provided to incorporate into the assessment.
This document discusses coastal processes, flooding, and management in Start Bay. It focuses on wind, waves, and beaches in the area, including at locations like Limpet Rocks, Slapton Sands, Slapton Ley, Beesands Village, Torcross, and Tinsey Head. Videos are attached that show small waves at Torcross.
The Coldest Journey is an expedition that aims to cross Antarctica in winter without mechanical assistance. It will involve dragging sleds over 1,700 miles of ice in extreme cold, with average temperatures of -50°C. While previous expeditions have crossed Antarctica, this journey faces greater risks due to the inhospitable conditions of the frozen continent's winter. Proponents argue it will further scientific understanding, but others question if it is merely a display of bravado given the high costs and dangers when modern technology could provide the same insights.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
