#ISATT2025 The last keynote - one of Prof Aileen Kennedy's provocations is about what we know and understand about 'quality' teaching and the colonial influences on professional learning. Is there a place for resistance?

A much needed support for school communities. Leaders, teachers, families, children need to be supported in their approach to racism and racist incidents. As chair of the National Anti-Racism in Education programme, I want to express members for their valuable time and expertise in producing this.

Nuzhat Uthmani @nuthmani.bsky.social · Jun 17

It's been a huge task to create something in the interim as we were aware schools are crying out for support with this. The final whole school approach due at the end of 2025 hopefully, will also address #racism towards staff. Interested in feedback from colleagues/schools.

A huge loss to Scotland, Prof. Palmer was an intellectual powerhouse and exceptional advocate on anti-racism and the need for honest recognition of Scotland’s role in slavery. www.scotsman.com/education/si...

...and why many Black women die during childbirth! Absolutely appalling.

Prof Ann Lopez @drannlopez.bsky.social · Jan 31

This is the same reasoning that they use to deny Black people pain medication and generally give Black people inferior medical care

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · Jan 30

Bravo to Sen. Alsobrooks for her question.

“We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule as Whites because their immune system is better than ours.” — RFK Jr

This is the deadlier version of the racist myth that Black people feel less pain, leading to denied pain meds.

Tara, your contributions to the Anti-Racism in Education Programme (AREP) have been so valuable. Thank you so much for your continued support and solidarity it's phenomenal! @nasuwt-official.bsky.social

It is a time for implementation and action to embed anti-racism in education @khadijamohammed.bsky.social

👏 👏👏👏👏

NASUWT Scotland @nasuwtscotland.bsky.social · Jan 30

Inspiring opening address from @khadijamohammed.bsky.social ✊

AREP should be rightly proud of the work undertaken to date.

This Anti-Racism in Education event is a call to action for all leaders to make anti-racism a priority.

Addressing systemic racism will require systemic change.
