Tool-Kit for Tackling Racism in Schools

Tackling racism in schools has never been more necessary but many teachers fear that by doing it inadequately they will simply make matters worse. Stella Dadzie has drawn on her long experience of working with teachers and young people to produce a blueprint for getting things right. Teachers are shown how to identify the key messages they want to get across, the learning objectives and key question - and then to evaluate the effectiveness of their work on each module. Within the safety net of the Toolkit, teachers can work with their students on the following modules * Why are people racist? * Stereotyping * Racial violence * The media * Other people's attitudes * Culture * Fighting Racism The support for teachers does not stop here. There is also a detailed analysis of key works and phrases, from "black" to " xenophobia", guidance on follow-up activities and a list of relevant resources. With The Toolkit teachers can enhance their own understanding of the pernicious nature of racism, prepare themselves to tackle it in the classroom, and fulfill their role of educating their students to be responsible citizens.
