A6- Speak to the students. It doesn't have to be a huge question but ask them to audit the session/ module. What is missing? Who is missing? Do you see yourself reflected in the curriculum? begin a discussion #LTHEchat

A5- From speaking with colleagues it's a safe space where questions can be asked, learning happens between each other and people curious. The fatigue of being the lone champion in a space can take its toll, knowing there is a space to come together with others can be very powerful. #LTHEchat
It's also providing different ways for students to engage to allow students to be part of the conversation in a way that is safe for them in that moment. #LTHEchat
A4- bringing students into the conversation from the beginning, asking their perspectives when reviewing or building new modules or resources and making sure their ideas are valued. #LTHEChat
I agree, sometimes providing the space and facilitating discussions can be the most powerful tool.#LTHEChat
Foe some staff its not understanding what we mean by the anti-racism curriculum work. I have found providing space to actively explore the term together and providing scenarios to explore different perspectives of a situation, opened the door for staff to move away from fear.
Fear of 'getting it wrong' or using the 'wrong language'. #LTHEChat
I worked with a whole school where facilitated sessions with the senior leader set the tone for providing and valuing space to discuss and critique policies and practices that were in their gift to change. It sent the tone and held the senior staff accountable.
I completely agree and its honouring and celebrating the diverse cohort that allows space to discuss learn and reflect.
values and principles that underpin an anti racist curriculum is curiosity, reflexivity and humility. The opportunity to empower staff and students, its a continuing and evolving process.
