In addition to the above local association meetings, we have also planned a Training Programme for the new academic year. We were delighted to sponsor three Stockport members to train as anti-racism ambassadors with Show Racism the Red Card, during the summer term. These members will share some of their learning more widely in two sessions this autumn.
Monday 27th September 5pm via zoom – Show racism the red card (Session 1)
(Please email secretary.stockport@nasuwt.org.uk for details of how to join the session)
Recognising and responding to racism. They will talk through key concepts in racial literacy including unconscious bias, privilege and intersectionality before looking at some key ways racism presents itself in schools and how we, as teachers and NASUWT members, can respond to racism.
Show racism the red card (Session 2) - date rearranged
Tuesday 2nd November 5.30-6.30pm via zoom
You do not need to have attended session 1 to attend session 2, which again will be excellent, informative and thought provoking.

An exploration into how racism impacts in our schools and some practical things we can do as teachers to be more consciously anti-racist.
