Racial Literacy & Microaggression - CPD Training

Our main goals of the Teacher Training module is to highlight some key anti-racist training that relates directly to schools and the education industry. We teach many of the key concepts that we teach the students, in our student-facing workshop and mirror the same learning so there is a holistic approach throughout the whole school. 

 We can offer training in-person during staff INSET days, and also online training via Zoom, to suit your school and its schedule.

The Module is split up into 3 main areas:
