My experience and presentation at the Geographical Association Conference 2026.
Join me to share an experience of attending and engaging with the GA conference in Sheffield 2026.
Lecture+ delivered by Daryl Sinclair at the GA conference 2026 in Sheffield. This lecture+ explores the critical need to revisit how frameworks are used in geography teaching, emphasizing their power to limit student thinking and perpetuate stereotypes.
Daryl Sinclair shares an in-depth exploration of what frameworks are as a cognitive tool in education, providing real life examples of where our application of frameworks has impacted the futures of people ranging from students during 2020, through to LATAM countries forced to follow Rostow's five stages of development.
Daryl concludes with practical strategies based in anti-racist pedagogies to rethink our engagement with frameworks and ensure that they support inclusive, complex, and hopeful futures.
Too often we hold students back from ambitious texts in KS3 because we underestimate them or lack the scaffolding to support success.
That’s why I’ve contributed to Myatt & Co’s KS3: The Ambitious Years.
The free booklets below offer a full six‑lesson sequence for Grade 7 students exploring Factfulness, built around the driving question:
How does the critical use of data help us form realistic, hopeful ideas about the future?
Students analyse images, maps, graphs, and video, building toward extended writing — and maybe even finishing the book. A companion teacher guide unpacks the pedagogy and common misconceptions so you’re supported throughout.
Every phenomena in life has a source of Power. When educating the next generation, it is important that we make it clear whether it is the waves that shape the coast, the laws that determine legal citizenship, the push and pull factors of migration or the height of a mountain, a source of power is found somewhere.
Pedagogies for diverse classrooms consider everyone in the classroom, including the teacher, as a student with value to add to the learning. Learn about how to apply pedagogies in your class to ensure inclusivity and student empowerment.
Teaching geography is impossible without engaging with racial diversity; thus, our responsibility as teachers is to use anti-racist pedagogies (ARP), which prevent the continuation of racist ideologies (Esson, 2018).
A recording of my presentation with Briley Habib at the Geographical Association Annual Conference 2022.
Our session, titled 'Using Project-Based Learning to share Everyday Geographies' guides teachers through lesson creation with the provision of supporting templates and guides.
As the world of education begins to slowly engage with pedagogies that are more inclusive, decolonised, and anti-racist, a remaining point of failure across the board is the use of data.
Our use of simple statistics whether introducing a country, using real-world numbers such as average salary for applied mathematics or explaining a biological phenomenon, can build harmful generalisations within our classrooms.
In order to Decolonise our pedagogies and teach inclusively, we must consider our use of statistics and our application of mathematics.
