Representation Matters - Becoming an anti-racist educator

Representation Matters is the essential book for teachers looking to promote diversity and inclusion in their school and create positive, lasting change for staff and pupils. In this crucial book, former assistant principal, campaigner and TEDxBristol speaker Aisha Thomas demonstrates how race shapes the experiences of Black, Asian and minority ethnic teachers and pupils in the UK education system, and why representation is fundamental in every school. Sharing the lived experiences of over 20 teachers and pupils, this book offers practical, concrete strategies and resources to drive change and promote an anti-racist approach to education. Covering a range of important topics, including diversifying the curriculum, challenging overt and covert racism, exploring identity and culture in tutor time and PSHE, and interpreting the Equality Act 2010, Representation Matters equips all teachers and school leaders with everything they need to start their journey to becoming an anti-racist educator.>
