What’s the quality of equalities in your school? by Fearless Futures
Wednesday 10 October, 5 – 7pm
Ada National College for Digital Skills, N15 4AG
In the wake of the increasing normalisation of xenophobic, misogynistic rhetoric in the UK and beyond, educators have a responsibility to resist this disturbing trend where it appears in their classrooms and school communities and to counter it through the promotion of equality and inclusivity. This isn’t easy: while balancing attainment, behaviour and pedagogy concerns, it can be hard for teachers to carve out a strong, informed response to this trend and develop their equalities practice. How does an educator best embed equalities and inclusion thinking into their classroom practice if we see inequalities as complex, interconnected and often unwittingly perpetuated?
Following our popular article in The Independent (external link), in this innovative and interactive workshop participants will explore the manifestations, implications and root causes of inequalities within their school communities, begin to craft a self-developed toolkit as to how they can more meaningfully, courageously and holistically tackle inequalities and dangerous narratives in their own classrooms.
