8 professional sectors that CILT operate in… 8 resources

8 fully resourced session plans • One for each of the 8 sectors… • “Enquiry approach” • Making use of GI and digital mapping • Connected with the students’ lived experiences where possible…

Vocational element… • Logistics an area where recruitment is strong, and which is a growing area of the economy • Logistics requires a geographical skillset…

Ideas by John Lyon 1. From smart phone to my house - how my (Amazon, e. Bay whatever) product arrives at my house. How am I able to track my purchase? How is it travelling - plane? 2. My Subway sandwich - where has everything that makes up my sandwich come from, how does it travel? How is it so cheap? Who is responsible for getting it to me? 3. Going Bananas - tarantulas and bananas? ? 4. 'Red Bull gives you wings' but does the F 1 car fly? And who else makes sure the car is at the starting line on the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia (or wherever) 5. H&M the fashion clothing manufacturer has defined seven ambitious commitments on sustainability. What goes into your H&M jumper(? ) where does it come from and how do they ensure that it travels sustainably? 6. Has the petrol in my family car travelled further than the car? 7. The UK is "never more than a few days away from a significant food shortage" MPs International Development Committee. What? So where does food our come from, why are we only days away from empty shelves. Who is responsible for making sure I get my. . fresh fruit, Breakfast cereal, etc. How does a supermarket keep its shelves full?

What is logistics? Logistics is all about getting things from point A to point B – safely, securely and on time.

Transport related ideas for activities…. http: //madewithmonsterlove. itch. io/error-prone

Transport in the curriculum… KS 1 use basic geographical vocabulary to refer to: key physical features, including: beach, cliff, coast, forest, hill, mountain, sea, ocean, river, soil, valley, vegetation, season and weather key human features, including: city, town, village, factory, farm, house, office, port, harbour and shop use simple compass directions (North, South, East and West) and locational and directional language [for example, near and far; left and right], to describe the location of features and routes on a map

Transport in the curriculum… KS 2 describe and understand key aspects of: human geography, including: types of settlement and land use, economic activity including trade links, and the distribution of natural resources including energy, food, minerals and water

Transport in the curriculum… KS 3 Pupils should become aware of increasingly complex geographical systems in the world around them. They should develop greater competence in using geographical knowledge, approaches and concepts [such as models and theories] and geographical skills in analysing and interpreting different data sources

Transport in the curriculum… KS 3 human geography relating to: population and urbanisation; international development; economic activity in the primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary sectors; and the use of natural resources understand how human and physical processes interact to influence, and change landscapes, environments and the climate; and how human activity relies on effective functioning of natural systems use Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to view, analyse and interpret places and data

Transport Geographies • Keytown bypass

Transport in the curriculum… GCSE- new specifications A case study of a city in the UK to include: How urban change has created opportunities: • social and economic: cultural mix, recreation and entertainment, employment, integrated transport systems How urban transport strategies are used to reduce traffic congestion.

Transport in the curriculum… GCSE- new specifications Economic change in the UK: Causes of economic change: de-industrialisation and decline of traditional industrial base, globalisation and government policies Improvements and new developments in road and rail infrastructure, port and airport capacity The place of the UK in the wider world. Links through trade, culture, transport, and electronic communication. Economic and political links: the European Union (EU) and Commonwealth.

Transport in the curriculum… GCSE- new specifications Maps: Maps based on global and other scales may be used and students may be asked to identify and describe significant features of the physical and human landscape on them, e. g. population distribution, population movements, transport networks, settlement layout, relief and drainage

Transport in the curriculum… ‘A’ Level – new specifications What are the causes of globalisation and why has it accelerated in recent decades?

Eduqas 1. 3. 8 Rural management and the challenges of continuity and change Managing rural change and inequality in diverse communities including issues of housing, transport and service provision, including Broadband provision On-going challenges in rural places where regeneration / rebranding are absent or have failed or have created conflict New challenges of managing change in some rural communities associated with counter-urbanisation and second home ownership, and possible actions 2. 2. 1 Globalisation, migration and a shrinking world Growth of global systems; connections and global flows of goods, money, people, technology and ideas Classification of migrants and quantification and mapping of global patterns of migration Factors creating a shrinking world for potential migrants including transport, communication and media representation

Take you through a couple of ideas in a little more detail to show the process I went through… and hopefully persuade you to use the ideas yourself…
