When considering diversity, equality and inclusion schools and teachers must consider intersectionality – which refers to how the different aspects of a person's social, racial and political identities combine to create different kinds of discrimination. But this can be a challenging task for teachers at the chalkface. In this workshop, Sophia Kapcia, a secondary school English teacher who is nearing the end of a PhD in Education and Social Justice, will offer practical advice about how teachers can ensure the invisible voices in their classrooms are heard. Sophia will consider race & ethnicity, gender, social class, disadvantage, disability and more, asking how we can ensure these many and diverse voices are heard in our curriculum, our subjects, and our lesson planning. This requires deliberate practice and planning, knowing your students, cultural understanding, and engaging with sometimes difficult and sensitive conversations – this workshop will offer positive advice for schools in creating a culture where teachers feel supported to engage with this vital work.
