1. Towards a National Geography Curriculum: Geography in the 21st Century.

The project titled ‘Towards a National Geography Curriculum’ has been developed by the Australian Geography Teachers’ Association(AGTA) in association with the Institute of Australian Geographers(IAG) and the Royal Geographical Society of Queensland(RGSQ). There is a website at http://www.ngc.org.au/ which is will keep you up to pace with the initiative.

Between October 2008 and May 2009 consultation forums were held around Australia to obtain the views of teachers about the nature of a future national geography curriculum. This was the opportunity for geography teachers in South Australia to have an input in the project. />/>

 The final Towards a National Geography Curriculum report has now been presented to the National Curriculum Board.  View the report by clicking here.
