Rethinking the Power of Geographic Frameworks

Written by

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.

Geographies of Hope: Thinking Clearly About the World

Written by

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.

This was a central question that Michael Neumann and I addressed during our #ISLECISLoft session on March 3rd 2026. Moving from standalone international day celebrations and black history months, to scaffolded learning embedded in the school curriculum is the goal. Though exposure is valuable, too often schools stop at that, neglecting the steps needed that can shift understanding and shape day-to-day actions.
