PLEASE NOTE – OUR SESSIONS ARE ONLY FOR THOSE WORKING IN AND WITH SCHOOLS IN THE DIOCESE OF YORK
We are piloting the National Society Introduction to Racial Justice course locally. The course contains six units, each with video input from the Curriculum and Inclusion team as the NSE alongside discussion and application in our online sessions together. The course also provides some recommended reading to enhance learning.
The course is ENTRY LEVEL and assumes no previous learning about racial justice. It aims to give an introduction to the topic, to support the implementation of ‘Flourishing for All Part C: Preventing and Tackling Race-based Bullying’ as well as developing school leader confidence in creating more inclusive school cultures.
Themes include:
- What underpins the need for Racial Justice?
- What is Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Belonging & Justice?
- What are the barriers to Racial Justice?
- How can policy improve Racial Justice?
- How can curriculum improve Racial Justice?
- How can progress towards Racial Justice be measured?
