Children are born explorers, full of wonder and hungry for stories
about the world. What role might geography teaching play? What
geographical stories do we tell about the world? What stories do we
tell about geography itself? The book revisits an older vision of
geography that is much bigger than exams and memorising
information: dreams of adventure and discovery. But where
geography’s imperial past used these tools for domination and
control, this book reclaims exploration to nurture wonder and tell
better stories that work towards more just, equitable and
sustainable futures. Positioning geography teaching in relation to
major global challenges, author Steve Puttick argues that the
subject has a unique role to play through its ability to think
across natural and social sciences in equipping young people with
the skills and knowledge they need to respond. The book offers a
critical and accessible analysis of geography’s entanglements
with colonialism by exploring the striations of Empire in the
subject. Each chapter draws on a wide range of research in
geography, and finishes with practical activities and questions for
reflection that can be used individually and collectively to
support teachers’ ongoing professional development. The book is
essential reading for all geography teachers at any stage of their
career, as well as geography teacher educators, subject leads, and
school leaders with responsibility for curriculum development.

This book examines Robert Grosseteste's often underrepresented
ideas on education. It uniquely brings together academics from the
fields of medieval history, modern science and contemporary
education to shed new light on a fascinating medieval figure whose
work has an enormous amount to offer anyone with an interest in our
educational processes. The book locates Grosseteste as a key figure
in the intellectual history of medieval Europe and positions him as
an important thinker who concerned himself with the science of
education and set out to elucidate the processes and purposes of
learning. This book offers an important practical contribution to
the discussion of the contemporary nature and purpose of many
aspects of our education processes. This book will be of interest
to students, researchers and academics in the disciplines of
educational philosophy, medieval history, philosophy and theology.
Key to teacher education is the knowledge base of the teacher
educator, and the ways in which knowledge is conceptualised. This
book explores how ideas about knowledge are used in teacher
education to critically examine what knowledges are valued across
research, policy and practice. The authors explore international
and interdisciplinary perspectives on the nature of knowledge (and
what counts as knowledge) and how these perspectives on knowledge
translate into teacher education, , with a final chapter dedicated
to exploring consequences for practice.
