This is the official Progress Report on the project GeoCapabilities2: Teachers as Curriculum Leaders. It has been written by the leading/coordinating partner (P1) on behalf of the whole partnership. Written in Month 18 of the 36-month project this report summarises progress at the half-way point. It shows that the Project was broadly on course in relation to the deliverables laid out in the initial project proposals. As partners testify in their own words in section 7, the Project is seen as challenging and highly significant. There was a feeling of optimism as the project moved towards its second phase, focussing on implementation, dissemination and exploitation.
