Geography Education’s Potential and the Capability Approach “This book is a very welcome entry into the status of subject knowledge in contemporary schools not only in England but also internationally. By building its theoretical background on the ‘powerful knowledge’ and the capability approach, it beautifully highlights the role of subject teachers as professional curriculum makers. The book shows how geography as a school subject can develop students’ capabilities and enhance their wellbeing.” —Professor Sirpa Tani, University of Helsinki, Finland “This book has inspired new curriculum thinking about the broader purposes and values of geography in schools. This book expertly demonstrates how concepts of powerful knowledge, capabilities, and teacher leadership intertwine to support a geography curriculum that develops human potential and freedoms. It offers a road map to improving the relevance, appeal, and applicability of geography as a fundamental and essential subject in education.” —Dr Michael Solem, Co-Director, National Center for Research in Geography Education, USA “This is an important book. The ideas in the book enable school leaders and teachers to really focus on why their subject expertise matters in education and how a focus on this can benefit the education of young people. For schools this can be significant as it ensures knowledge development is at the heart of a good school, something so often taken for granted and lost in the push for results and league table positioning.” —Andrew McCleave, Headmaster and teacher of geography, Ballard School, UK
