Promoting Lifelong Professional Development in Geography Education: International Perspectives on Developing the Scholarship of Teaching in Higher Education in the Twenty-First CenturyFootnote∗

∗I am very grateful to the Organizing Committee of the 29th International Geographical Congress for inviting me to present an earlier version of this article to the plenary session on Developing Geographical Educators for the 21st Century, 14–18 August 2000, Seoul, Korea. Brian Chalkley, Gordon Clark, Iain Hay, Alan Jenkins, John McKendrick, Jan Monk, and Ifan Shepherd provided some very helpful comments on a draft version of the paper, as did three anonymous referees.
