What does it mean to decolonise pedagogy in the secondary English classroom?
This session explores what it means to decolonise pedagogy in the secondary English classroom and how this can complicate common misunderstandings of ‘decolonisation’ as simply ‘diversification’. We’ll offer a liberating and helpful look at options for teachers who might not be able to change the texts they teach, but want to embrace a decolonial and anti-racist approach.
In this webinar you will:
- Explore challenges teachers may face when trying to diversify their curriculum
- Have space to reflect on your own pedagogy and its relationship to coloniality
- Discover practical examples of decolonial pedagogy in English lessons
Before the webinar, please explore:
After the webinar, you’ll receive the recording of the webinar; a list of suggested further reading; and a series of reflection questions/writing prompts to support you in linking the content of the webinar back in to your practice.
