Are you a teacher? Know a teacher? Please share and complete this survey on teaching & British Empire in secondary schools - so important to gather insights here

[PortraitEMB @PortraitEMB]

Join our research on how the British Empire is taught in English secondary schools! We've created a shorter version of our survey (15-20 mins) to better understand teachers' needs and support a more inclusive curriculum. Your input is vital! #CPD https://t.co/IYe8IoMZAG
