Myatt & Co weekly update

Hello colleague,

We hope you're enjoying your Myatt & Co subscription. We've handpicked some video content for you, which we hope you find helpful:

Siblings Tom and Jo Brassington explain their journey to creating Bottled and the thinking behind it. Tom reads the book aloud for the first time. Watch here.

Briley Habib has an analysis of the issue of gender in the geography curriculum drawing on the work of Caroline Criado Perez.

Dr Alice Mpofu-Coles then talks about the white male dominance in human geography. She talks about efforts now being made to construct an alternative way of doing things that will broaden the appeal of the subject.

Daryl Sinclair explains the role of students as teachers in an inclusive geography classroom. He also shows how to empower students to use diverse knowledge sources.

Hina Robinson focuses on the dangers of making assumptions about what our pupils have experienced while also recognising that collectively our classes will have a lot more experience of some aspects of the world than we allow for and that we need to respond to this diversity with sensitivity.

Watch the roundtable here.

Very best

Mary and The Myatt & Co Team
