Product reviews for Making Every Geography Lesson Count

If only I had been able to read Making Every Geography Lesson Count when I started out as a geography teacher. I'm sure it would been thumbed to bits by now. Mark Enser's love of geography shines through this remarkable book as he thoughtfully  combines his subject knowledge and deep pedagogical understanding with the seminal work of the likes of Daniel Willingham, Rob Coe, Barak Rosenshine and, of course, Shaun Allison and Andy Tharby. The result is a very well structured, beautifully exemplified and helpfully challenging book brimming with practical strategies for teachers to consider. I particularly enjoyed the twin scenarios presented at the start of each chapter, which cleverly bring to life some of the real challenges involved in ensuring all pupils make great progress in geography. 

Central to Mark's message is the professionalism of the teacher, but there are no silver bullets here. Rather, what Mark offers in this book is a rich array of approaches that geography teachers can adopt and adapt to suit their own contexts. I also love the range of case studies provided. 



Making Every Geography Lesson Count is a must-read for any geography teacher, experienced or novice, as well for those charged with training our next generation of teachers.
