Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name. Please see: David Lambert I was a comprehensive school geography teacher for 12 years becoming a Deputy Headteacher in 1985. I joined the Institute of Education (IoE) in 1986-7 as a teacher educator, becoming Reader in Education in 1999 and enjoying a spell as Assistant Dean ITE (research). I played a leading role in introducing the Master of Teaching (MTeach) at the Institute. In 2002 I left the IoE to became full-time Chief Executive of the Geographical Association, helping to guide its transformation into a significant provider of CPD and a leader in funded curriculum development activity. From September 2007 I had the opportunity to combine this role with a return to the IoE as Professor of Geography Education. Recent publications include “Geography 11-19: a conceptual approach”, co-written with John Morgan. My overarching goal is to advance the importance of geography in schools, not least its role in helping young people grasp the significance of the Anthropocene. source: university faculty page
