The Life Geographic: A somewhat self-absorbed personal and professional development blog of an ex-Geography high-school teacher…
The climate crisis is a safeguarding issue. Geography teachers are on the front line. My new chapter in 'What is Geography Teaching, Now?' is out now. I explore how we can move beyond teaching dire facts to become storytellers and enablers for a generation facing eco-anxiety. Discover the simple language shift that empowers students and explore my free interactive framework for building climate literacy.
In my latest #GeogramblingsReacts video, I delve into the troubling removal of NOAA's Essential Principles for Climate Literacy guide by the current administration. This invaluable resource has been a cornerstone for climate education, and its censorship is a significant blow to our efforts. Discover why this guide matters, how you can still access it, and join me in supporting climate literacy.
Ask a @NOAA scientist! An offer to each #GeographyTeacher and their students to ask questions of some of the world's leading scientists based at @NOAA_ESRL - Check it out!

Blue Planet II is awe-inspiring and a wake-up call. But, there are resources at hand.
Part 2 about the poles, including a visit to a lab that works on polar ice and a letter from a friend in Antarctica!
