In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? Great to have a chance to think more indepth, but ran out of time to engage fully

“Engaged pupils which was great to see. The unit gave great cross curricular links and the students learned lots. It was great to see the conversations that happened in depth and the ways that they were thinking about their own experiences and the experiences of others. Thank you for the kit and the opportunity to approach this unit with my class”

In what ways did this kit empower your students to challenge racism? It particularly provided the opportunity to challenge unconscious bias and enabled us to challenge one another, not only in the Humanities classroom, but also on the sports field and school grounds when we detected aspects of racism.

“A brilliant resource that opened up deep discussion in my Year 10 Humanities classes. It not only challenged my students but also my own thinking.”

In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? I found it useful as a guide to the kit, nothing more.

“Term 4 was probably not the best time for our department to try the kit but we used several parts of it with both our students and prospective Y9 students in Y8 visits. Stereotype Pictionary was very popular. Overall the kit will fit into a term 1 programme for several classes next year and I will update our review then. It is a well constructed kit that we can drop in and out of from Y9-11 in our social studies classes.”

How effective was the use of social Media for Fighting Social Injustice It opened my students eyes about how things can be for others. Teenagers are often focused on themselves and their version of the world view. The kit made them look at the world from a different view.

“My class and I really enjoyed using this kit as a way to engage in difficult conversations. It provided the boys a safe space to air their views.”

How effective was the use of social Media for Fighting Social Injustice I did not use the actual Instagram template (it was an option I gave to students but none took it up) but appreciated the social media handles which were woven into some remote learning tasks.

In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? I found this to be a really powerful looking resource, but due to the COVID situation this year changing things up a bit, I did not engage with this as much as I should have. I fully appreciate what it sets out to achieve and hope to put it to use more th

“I did not use everything the kit offered, due to time constraints from the lockdown and creating my own work to supplement it. But what I did use that I found to be really helpful and effective was the pictionary and the posters. The game was highly engaging and a nice catalyst for discussion, e.g. every single student who drew ' a smart person' drew maths symbols. The posters were a fantastic way of scaffolding a small research and social action project, as they outlined a series of different approaches to the issue which organically built a holistic understanding. Having a range of media was great, as some students were really engaged with the podcasts whilst others with researching more into the events or people profiled. I really appreciated the time and thought that went into creating such concise and up-to-date resources because it is the type of thing that is very labour intensive.”

“This was a very full and detailed kit. There were elements that we had to source ourselves but it was a case of having to select what we did. Unfortunately, during the teaching of this kit we were moved into lockdown and had to pivot our plans slightly to ensure we had the understanding and rich thinking and conversations that we had intended while leaving some of the more challenging aspects alone. This kit provided a great amount of diversity in the way that we approached each poster (or section for us) and gave scope for each of the four teachers to put their own 'flavour' on this. Through this kit we were also able to stretch our research, speaking and presentation skills. We experimented with creating info graphics but were not able to create the instagram feeds.”
