In this self-paced on-line course participants will learn to approach geography with children as fundamentally a sense of the world around us – a local perspective radiating outwards towards a global view. They will engage with the approaches and methodologies necessary to explore with children, that human & natural world that surrounds them which in turn should foster a natural instinct in children towards environmental awareness, care and preservation.

The on-line format of the course enables you to study when and where you want to learn. Content is divided into 5 modules which you can complete in any order between July 1st and August 27th 2010.

Participants are encouraged to interact with one another using the communication tools (forum, chat, e-mail) provided by the CPD College learning system. Active facilitation throughout the course provides expert interaction, guidance and feedback for all participants. Assignments and questions which call for critical reflection, self-analysis and a reasoned response punctuate this highly interactive web based course.

On completion of the course the participant will be presented with their own time record, excercise content and approval by the course facilitator as their CPD record to keep.
