8 professional sectors that CILT operate in…
8 resources
8 fully resourced session plans
• One for each of the 8 sectors…
• “Enquiry approach”
• Making use of GI and digital mapping
• Connected with the students’ lived experiences where possible…
Vocational element…
• Logistics an area where recruitment is strong, and which is a growing area of the economy
• Logistics requires a geographical skillset…
Ideas by John Lyon1. From smart phone to my house - how my (Amazon, eBay whatever) product arrives at my house.
How am I able to track my purchase? How is it travelling - plane?
2. My Subway sandwich - where has everything that makes up my sandwich come from, how does it travel? How is it so cheap? Who is responsible for getting it to me?
3. Going Bananas - tarantulas and bananas??
4. 'Red Bull gives you wings' but does the F1 car fly? And who else makes sure the car is at the starting line on the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia (or wherever)
5. H&M the fashion clothing manufacturer has defined seven ambitious commitments on sustainability. What goes into your H&M jumper(?) where does it come from and how do they ensure that it travels sustainably?
6. Has the petrol in my family car travelled further than the car?
7. The UK is "never more than a few day days away from a significant food shortage" MPs International Development Committee. What? So where does food our come from, why are we only days away from empty shelves. Who is responsible for making sure I get my ....fresh fruit, Breakfast cereal, etc. How does a supermarket keep its shelves full?
What is logistics?
Logistics is all about getting things from point A to point B – safely, securely and on time.

Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner: From fresh fruits to your favorite cereal or brand of pasta, logistics moves these items from their country of origin to your grocery store shelves.Electronics: Your favorite video game console, your noise-cancelling headphones, your laptop – all electronics are made up of small parts produced in factories around the globe. Logistics gets each microchip, memory card, and console part from its site of production to the factory where it all gets put together. And then, logistic moves the final product to your local electronics store.Healthcare: Without logistics, there’d be no way to get medicine, vaccines and other life-saving goods where they need to go, on time and in proper condition. In very real ways, logistics makes the world a better place.Sports: For every World Cup, Superbowl or Olympic Games, there are millions of logistical details to handle. Without logistics, there would be no soccer balls at the World Cup, no rings for Superbowl champions, and no hurdles at the Olympic track.Mail (the old-fashioned kind): Every time you order a video game, smartphone accessory, or book, logistics bridges the gap from finding your purchase in the warehouse, to getting it packaged and shipped, and finally delivering it to your front doorstep.Entertainment: From building concert stages to filming TV shows and music videos, the entertainment industry relies on the logistics of transportation, supply and delivery.Sustainability: Believe it or not, logistics plays a huge role in protecting the environment. Logisticians are charged with developing better, more efficient and more sustainable ways of doing business, so that we can enjoy the world economy with the lowest possible environmental impact.
Entertainment: From building concert stages to filming TV shows and music videos, the entertainment industry
relies on the logistics of transportation, supply and delivery.

Transport related ideas for activities….
http://madewithmonsterlove.itch.io/error-prone
Transport in the curriculum…
KS1
use basic geographical vocabulary to refer to:key physical features, including: beach, cliff, coast, forest, hill, mountain, sea,ocean, river, soil, valley, vegetation, season and weatherkey human features, including: city, town, village, factory, farm, house, office, port, harbour and shop
use simple compass directions (North, South, East and West) and locational and directional language [for example, near and far; left and right], to describe the location of features and routes on a map
Transport in the curriculum…
KS2
describe and understand key aspects of:human geography, including: types of settlement and land use, economic activity including trade links, and the distribution of natural resources including energy, food, minerals and water
Transport in the curriculum…
KS3
Pupils should become aware of increasingly complex geographical systems in the world around them. They should develop greater competence in using geographicalknowledge, approaches and concepts [such as models and theories] and geographical skills in analysing and interpreting different data sources
Transport in the curriculum…
KS3
human geography relating to: population and urbanisation; international development; economic activity in the primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary sectors; and the use of natural resourcesunderstand how human and physical processes interact to influence, and change landscapes, environments and the climate; and how human activity relies on effectivefunctioning of natural systems
use Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to view, analyseand interpret places and data
Transport Geographies
• Keytown bypass
Transport in the curriculum…
GCSE- new specifications
A case study of a city in the UK to include:
How urban change has created opportunities:• social and economic: cultural mix, recreation and entertainment, employment, integrated transport systems
How urban transport strategies are used to reduce traffic congestion.
Transport in the curriculum…
GCSE- new specifications
Economic change in the UK:
The place of the UK in the wider world. Links through trade, culture, transport, and electronic communication. Economic and political links: the European Union (EU) and Commonwealth.
Improvements and new developments in road and rail infrastructure, port and airport capacity
Causes of economic change: de-industrialisation and decline of traditional industrial base, globalisation and government policies
Transport in the curriculum…
GCSE- new specifications
Maps:
Maps based on global and other scales may be used and students may be asked to identify and describe significant features of the physical and human landscape on them, e.g. population distribution, population movements, transport networks, settlement layout, relief and drainage
Transport in the curriculum…
‘A’ Level – new specifications
What are the causes of globalisation and why has it accelerated in recent decades?
Eduqas1.3.8 Rural management and the challenges of continuity and change

Take you through a couple of ideas in a little more detail to
show the process I went through… and hopefully persuade you to use
the ideas yourself…

Taken from the resource
Creative outcomesRewrite the lyrics to the classic song ‘Route 66’, to set it in a UK setting… e.g. instead of it “winding from Chicago to LA, two thousand miles all the way” it will need to take in the UK context instead
If you ever plan to motor west, Travel my way, take the highway that's best.Get your kicks on Route sixty-six.
It winds from Chicago to LA, More than two thousand miles all the way.Get your kicks on Route sixty-six.
Now you go through Saint LouisJoplin, Missouri, And Oklahoma City is mighty pretty.You'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico, Flagstaff, Arizona.Don't forget Winona, Kingman, Barstow, San Bernandino.
Won't you get hip to this timely tip:When you make that California tripGet your kicks on Route sixty-six.

• Suez Canal costs approx £250 000 for a large container ship to pass through
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Identification_System
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is an automatic tracking system used on ships and by vessel traffic services (VTS) for identifying and locating vessels by electronically exchanging data with other nearby ships, AIS base stations, and satellites
AIS – Ship Tracker
• Login and choose a ‘fleet’ of ships to follow
• Activity involves Maersk ships
• Also the MSC Oscar
