Abstract

This paper describes a new community for Scottish geography, earth, and environmental sciences educators (i.e., the ScotGEESE community). It explores the formation of our community including our aims, distinguishing features, and influences through the metaphor of geese behaviour: hatching, honking, flocking, and flying. We identify tensions that have arisen including the visibility and access to our disciplines and the lack of communication between the educational levels and GEES disciplines. We also present the community through the lens of social learning theory ‘landscapes of practice’ (Wenger-Trayner et al., 2014) and describe the challenges and strengths of working between/within/across our professional communities. We invite those from early years, primary, secondary, further, higher, alternative and public education to come together to foster professional learning and to acknowledge and celebrate the similarities and differences of teaching between/within/across our disciplines.
