Rachel Johns @johnsrm.bsky.social · 22/04/2026A6- Speak to the students. It doesn't have to be a huge question but ask them to audit the session/ module. What is missing? Who is missing? Do you see yourself reflected in the curriculum? begin a discussion #LTHEchat 160
Rachel Johns @johnsrm.bsky.social · 22/04/2026A5- From speaking with colleagues it's a safe space where questions can be asked, learning happens between each other and people curious. The fatigue of being the lone champion in a space can take its toll, knowing there is a space to come together with others can be very powerful. #LTHEchat 041
Rachel Johns @johnsrm.bsky.social · 22/04/2026It's also providing different ways for students to engage to allow students to be part of the conversation in a way that is safe for them in that moment. #LTHEchat 130
Rachel Johns @johnsrm.bsky.social · 22/04/2026A4- bringing students into the conversation from the beginning, asking their perspectives when reviewing or building new modules or resources and making sure their ideas are valued. #LTHEChat 030
Rachel Johns @johnsrm.bsky.social · 22/04/2026I agree, sometimes providing the space and facilitating discussions can be the most powerful tool.#LTHEChat 110
Rachel Johns @johnsrm.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Foe some staff its not understanding what we mean by the anti-racism curriculum work. I have found providing space to actively explore the term together and providing scenarios to explore different perspectives of a situation, opened the door for staff to move away from fear. 010
Rachel Johns @johnsrm.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Fear of 'getting it wrong' or using the 'wrong language'. #LTHEChat 030
Rachel Johns @johnsrm.bsky.social · 22/04/2026I worked with a whole school where facilitated sessions with the senior leader set the tone for providing and valuing space to discuss and critique policies and practices that were in their gift to change. It sent the tone and held the senior staff accountable. 010
Rachel Johns @johnsrm.bsky.social · 22/04/2026I completely agree and its honouring and celebrating the diverse cohort that allows space to discuss learn and reflect. 010
Rachel Johns @johnsrm.bsky.social · 22/04/2026values and principles that underpin an anti racist curriculum is curiosity, reflexivity and humility. The opportunity to empower staff and students, its a continuing and evolving process. 020
