GEOGRAPHY - JANE MAXWELL
TEACHING EXPERIENCE: 38yrs
SWTT EXPERIENCE: 1yr
After qualifying in London, I have been fortunate to teach in London, East Sussex and for the last 20 years at Teign School in Devon. During my career I have taught Geography and Humanities in a variety of Schools from Grammar to Comprehensive, from Years 7 – 13, including Adults. This wealth of experience as a teacher and mentor enables me to be involved in the induction of new Geography teachers into the profession.
It is an ideal time to train to teach Geography. You can take your subject interest and passion, and through School Centred Training at SWTT, learn how to be a dynamic teacher and deliver a relevant, exciting and inspiring Geography Curriculum.
