Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Teaching (Primary Teaching Now)

It has never been more important for trainee teachers to understand diversity, equity and inclusion from a teaching perspective.
This text provides an up-to-date, grounded, and full understanding of the injustices and inequalities that impact our classrooms. It challenges trainees to rethink their own assumptions and biases and to take time to explore how schools and teachers can be active agents of positive change. It empowers new teachers to be confident in their allyship of marginalised groups and disadvantaged children. Through practical advice and support, this book enables teachers to bring diversity, equity and inclusion into the classroom.
