Meeting: November 3rd 2025

Geography in focus: Practicing and progressing maps skills.

How do you sequence map skills so pupils get the chance to learn, practise, and master them? Have you planned these into your curriculum—or are they happening ad hoc?

Give your learners a clear journey through map skills.
From simple plans in Key Stage 1 to complex maps in Key Stage 2, build progression with confidence.

Map skills sequenced, practised, and mastered.

Who is Knowhow Ed?

KnowhowEd is directed by Julie McGrane and Anne Echevarria.

We have spent much of our careers exploring ways of helping learners develop the skills and dispositions required to think and learn effectively. We draw on a range of teaching thinking and enquiry-based approaches such as Project Based Learning, Philosophy for Children, Visible Thinking and Thinking Moves - to name just a few.

From these we bring:

• an understanding of how to develop children's ability to think together and think for themselves - and develop the language of reasoning for doing so;
• an awareness of the importance of analogy and story in helping children explore abstract concepts;
• a wealth of strategies to help learners explore the 'big ideas' that underpin learning in different subject areas;
• expertise in facilitating the sort of metacognitive learning conversations that embed deeper understanding;
• a desire to infuse learning with real world authenticity and relevance.
