INTRO
The River Tees
This resource is designed to offer teachers resources about multiple aspects of the River Tees. Huge thanks to PD Ports for supporting this resource and opening their archives and facilities to allow filming.
From understanding the River’s geography, to an awareness of its place in the industrial landscape of the future, we have tried to cover multiple topics. As a result the resource is bigger than any one ‘topic’ and can be used to dip into the resources that are needed as part of long term planning.
There are guidance documents on this page to suggest different ways in which teachers may want to use the resource whether it be a standard ‘led’ series of lessons or an independent study by the pupils.
There has been no attempt to target resources at different age groups; links and opportunities will naturally fall into different focus areas for different teachers.
These pages will constantly be added to as new resources are discovered or developed.
