Geography and Global Perspectives teacher

Narin Kittisak

I begin Geography and Global Perspectives inquiries with local places, maps and field observations, asking pupils to compare evidence and identify what their account still needs to establish.

A little about me

I teach Geography and Global Perspectives, using local contexts to give an inquiry a concrete starting point. Studying a place close to the pupils can help them ask better questions about landscape, community and change. It also gives us a chance to check our assumptions against evidence rather than rely on a distant generalisation.

Local familiarity can be helpful, but it does not make one person an authority on every part of a country or community. I want to be precise about what I know from my classroom and what needs another source or perspective. Field inquiry works best when pupils observe carefully and record what they can actually support.

I look for resources that connect a question to maps, sources or a field observation. Pupils can compare what they notice with other evidence, then explain where their account is strong and what they would still need to investigate. I value curiosity grounded in a place, with humility about what a single viewpoint can tell us.

How I approach a lesson

  1. Start inquiry with a meaningful local context.

  2. Separate personal familiarity from wider authority.

  3. Use field observations alongside other evidence.
