Diversity in English
In this webinar four secondary school teachers explore some of the issues that stem from the lack of diversity in English teaching that they’ve written about in The National Association for the Teaching of English (NATE)’s magazine ‘Teaching English’.
Topics covered include: Discussing race: Adjusting the ‘safe space’ in the English classroom by Dr Furzeen Ahmed, Embracing vulnerability: Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable when discussing race by Jessica Tacon, It’s never too early to teach the truth about Empire by Aaishah Rauf and Beyond curriculum changes: A closer look at race and assessment by Lesley Nelson-Addy.
Panellists also provide practical tips and best practice methods to help teachers bring more diversity into their English classrooms.
