Teacher and CPD resources

Geology and Geophysics teachers in the department produce open access web-based teaching resources.

These teaching resources have been developed for use at different levels and include materials suitable for:

  • Undergraduates
  • ‘A’ Level students (Year 12 and 13 students) and
  • GCSE students (Year 10 and 11 students).

Resources include standalone/ self-assessment modules, PowerPoint presentations, PDFs, videos, photographs and a list of links to other useful educational sites that teachers may find useful.

These open-access teaching materials are found on the GEOHUB site and may be freely used if they are required for educational purposes by individuals or institutions.

Access the GEOHUB to see the resources available for you to use.

INSET courses

We are keen to maintain links with schools and colleges and since 2000 we have been offering INSET courses for teachers.

These two-day courses tailor-made for 'A' Level Geology Teachers provide:

  • Teaching resources suitable for use in AS and/or A2 courses
  • Updating lectures on specific topics in the 'A' Level specifications
  • Opportunities for course participants to meet the staff within the Earth Sciences Department and time to talk to  other 'A' Level Geology teachers across the UK and to share & discuss teaching ideas
  • Practical exercises suitable for use in schools & colleges preparing students for  'A' Level Geology examinations
  • Examples of case studies relevant to some of the topics in the 'A' Level syllabus and linked to current areas of research within the School of Environmental Sciences.
