Delighted to contribute to TES piece on non specialists

"The @geographicalassoc.bsky.social said, the ideal would be for all geography lessons to be taught by passionate & expert subject-specialist geography teachers - who can bring the subject to life for their pupils.

“Where schools draw on the support on non-specialist teachers, it is important that they are properly supported so that they have a secure understanding of the complex geographical processes and contexts that they will be teaching.”
