Conference 2024
The next SAGT Conference will take place on Saturday 26th October 2024 at Marr Academy, Troon
We are delighted to welcome SAGT members and others involved in Geography in Scottish Schools to our 2024 conference.
Iain and his team have been working behind the scenes to put together a varied programme of CLPL workshops and opportunities for you to catch-up with Geography teaching related organisations and other teachers. This year we will give delegates the choice of three CLPL workshops/seminars to attend, including from Geobus, ESRI and SSERC plus a host of others. We've also prioritised a sociable breakfast and lunch to give you the time to get to know or catch-up with other teachers.
The full conference programme of workshops and seminars can be seen below.
Prices remain the same as previous years - £30 for members; but only £10 for NQT and Students. Breakfast and lunch are included - do please remember that schools have a CLPL budget and you should be able to claim this cost.
Key note lecture is by Rob Lucas, Chair of the Galloway National Park Association. He'll explain how Galloway is the preferred choice for Scotland's 3rd National Park.
[We have had to make a late change to the location of this year's conference, from the Grange Academy in Kilmarnock to our new location of Marr College, Troon.]
Please send any enquiries/questions about conference to Iain at conference@sagteach.org
SAGT Resource Awards
We've rejigged our previously held Publisher's Awards to reflect the changing face of teaching resources and this year will launch our SAGT Resource Awards.
We're inviting you to nominate or submit resources or experiences that have had a positive impact on your teaching. We've tried to make the process as simple as possible with a short form asking for a wee description of the resource and an explanation of why it deserves to be recognised. See what I did there?
We'll share our awarded resources at conference and through our membership newsletters and email
