The Black Curriculum

Split across two dates and led by one of the Black Curriculum's experienced educators, these sessions will explore racial literacy, decolonising pedagogy, language use and more. With plenty of opportunity for reflection, discussion and questions, the sessions will help you gain confidence in your approach to teaching Black history and establishing your classroom as an anti-racist, decolonised space.

Please make sure you are able to attend both Black Curriculum session dates before signing up.

Our Stories
‍Thursday 7 October 2021
4-5.30pm (via Zoom)
Secondary teachers

This Black history CPD session will help you to develop a toolkit of creative ideas for deepening discussions, encouraging inclusivity and engaging with challenging topics.

Working with artist facilitator Ella Phillips, you will explore four themes inspired by the four films in Culture Mile Learning's Our Stories online resource: representation, language, safe spaces and activism. Within the context of Black history, you will explore art as a form resistance and how this can create meaningful conversations in the classroom setting.

This will be a dynamic session that will give you the confidence to embed Black history into your teaching across subject areas.
