Class 13

Transforming schools into dynamic environments that affirm young people’s inherent capacity for success.

Registered Charity Number 1189134 (England and Wales)

[Class 13 @Class__13]

This means there is a central focus on recognising each young person as an individual and nurturing critical thought using a framework of equity literacy and democratic education. The old approaches do not work. It’s time for a new approach. Join us!

[Class 13 @Class__13]

We’re excited to announce that we’ve secured £10,000 of funding from @ukblm! This has come at a crucial moment for Class 13 and we thank Black Lives Matter for recognising the importance of what we’ve trying to achieve.

[Class 13 @Class__13]

Our long-term aim is that young people and teachers are more engaged in learning. We want schools to step away from a punitive zero tolerance approach to education and move towards education as the practice of freedom.

[Class 13 @Class__13]

Join us for a screening of Made In Britain on July 12th! See Eventbrite for details: https://t.co/coYD7riMzD

The film is a must-see for educators, offering a helpful critique of the role institutions play in shaping young people's lives past and present.

This thread along with the poll results show what we knew when we founded Class 13:

Teachers want to promote equity in their schools, and in order to do so they need access to comprehensive training and support around racism and wider oppressions.

[Shain @benglishteach]

Does your school offer any training to help develop staff in order to deliver sessions on race equality to students? Is this something that we’re failing to recognise as a profession and need to address now? Interested to hear all your thoughts. RT appreciated.

@TheRobinsClass @benglishteach We offer CPD to teachers and schools looking to develop their anti-racist practice. We have a reading list on our website which you may find helpful (scroll to the bottom of the page)😊

@benglishteach We are a charity that supports teachers to unpack and unlearn their racial and wider biases so that they can build their anti-racist capacity in the classroom.

It's so important to reflect on our own racial knowledge before diving in with students

Train with us for free! We've secured funding to invite 2 teachers from 8 schools in Tower Hamlets/Hackney to join our East London training cohort free of charge. Spaces are filling up quickly, so be quick if you teach in one of these boroughs!

@Penny_Ten Just tweeted it in the replies, thanks for your support @Penny_Ten !

[Class 13 @Class__13]

We only have capacity for 16 teachers: 4 primary and 4 secondary school staff from each borough. Hackney primary school places are already full.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Thanks for the love @AntiRacistLibr, it was great to catch up with @OSaunders92 - looking forward to keeping in touch😄

[The Anti-Racist Library @AntiRacistLibr]

One of our co-founders @OSaunders92 met with @Class__13 last week to find out all the wonderful work they are doing with school staff.

Give them a follow, they may be able to help your staff recognise, reflect and respond to their racial and wider biases #BeTheChange

[Class 13 @Class__13]

@YoulandeH @BDTSpelman @AntiRacistLibr You might enjoy her talk about the book, its very insightful😀

It is said that schools are a reflection of the society they exist in. Stephen Lawrence day is a time to reflect on the societal racism that enabled his death.

Today we educators must ask ourselves, "What am I doing to proactively cultivate equity in my classroom? #edchat

[Runnymede Trust @RunnymedeTrust]

Today marks 29 years since the senseless murder of Stephen Lawrence.

We must use Stephen's legacy to make positive strides to eradicate institutional and systemic racism in the police, and across the UK.

Let's serve him that justice.

Rest in power, Stephen 🕊️
