School geography teaching has been a less popular career option for graduates recently. This paper reports on a programme designed to put undergraduate geographers into secondary schools to observe teachers and assist in teaching, with a view to encouraging them to consider secondary school teaching as a career. The organization and syllabus of the programme are described and a tentative evaluation offered using students' reflective accounts drawn from their portfolios. Students reflected upon the nature of teaching as a career, its professional characteristics, the skills a teacher employs, their own potential as teachers and the wider contexts within which schools operate
