Tomorrow marks the start of Black History Month. No amount of activities this month makes up for a lack of knowledge on the part of educators. I’ve curated a list of the best books on race, culture and identity for you. padlet.com/benniekara/b...#EduSky#UkEd

KS3 curriculum re-write for my new English dept. Similar to previous. I've made vocabulary ppts for Y7, Y8, Y9 for the linked vocab so we can use regularly in class. Copies in my dropbox if useful to anyone www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/rxra0...#Edusky#UKEd@teamenglish1.bsky.social

Absolutely - I think what would have helped me was knowing who needed to know what and how that info would be communicated to those who needed to know (/that it would be). My school is brilliant with appointments etc., and my anxieties were unfounded, but I didn't know that before I started.

Not knowing who to go through my medical history with - HR, OH, HT and having to have the cancer conversation over and over. My last move was to a school only just opening - so HT, AVP and 5 staff!
