Insights in geography education and topical subject updates
The Geographical Association (GA) is the leading subject association for teachers of geography. As a registered charity our mission is to ‘further geographical knowledge and understanding through education’. The Association is a lively community of professional practice with over a century of innovation behind it and an unrivalled understanding of geography teaching.
What does the GA do?
The GA supports high-quality geography education by enabling teachers of geography to share ideas and learn from one another. We support teachers’ professional needs by:
- publishing geography education titles, professional journals, online teaching resources, authoritative guidance;
- running professional development conferences and events, local networks, curriculum projects and accreditation for schools and teachers;
- advocating for geography and leading public debate around geography education.
