My Learning and Leadership Journey Update 2022 – 2023
I have been fortunate to gain a place on Education Scotland’s Building Racial Literacy course. My cohort will begin in December 2022.
For inofmration about the course is below:
Programme objectives
The programme will support you in building your racial literacy, by learning more about the nuances of racism and anti-racism, with the language to name it, and by developing the skills to continue this learning long after the programme is over with the support of the networks of learning formed.
The programme will help you develop the skills, confidence and resilience needed to engage in racial dialogue, and your personalised anti-racist action plan created on this course will help you work towards leading anti-racist change in your setting.
The Building Racial Literacy programme supports educators to become more confident in anti-racist practices and processes, developed against:
- the professional value of social justice in the General Teaching Council for Scotland standards
- the professional value of social justice in the Scottish Social Services Council: Standard for Childhood Practice
- the professional value of inclusion in the Community Learning and Development Standards
The programme also provides opportunities for educators and education system leaders to collaborate on anti-racist actions in their communities of practice (the programme national networks formed here) and apply to support future cohorts as Facilitators.
