LGBT+ inclusion

Hot on the heels of her #DiversityinData webinar, run in partnership with Pearson, Professor Hannah Fry reflects on her top five takeaways to support teachers and educators in challenging data bias and supporting diversity and inclusion in Maths. 
 
Professor Fry is a leading mathematician, best-selling author, award-winning presenter, and Professor in the Mathematics of Cities at the UCL Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis. The webinar, attended by hundreds of teachers and educators on 30 November, explored the power of numbers and ethics within research and data collection. In addition, it explored gender inequality in STEM and ways to remove bias to ensure fair results.

On the 11th November, in a Pearson webinar, former Headteacher and specialist speaker on anti-racism, Alison Kriel, shared her views about ‘broadening the curriculum’, opening up conversations about identity, race and inclusion with the audience. Here, Alison reflects on key points for teachers to consider – starting with the incredible power of words.

On the 16th of November, in a one-off Pearson webinar, Laila El-Metoui, founder of Pride in Education, Stonewall Lesbian Role Model of the Year (2020) and Equity Educator, shared with teachers and senior school leaders, what they can do to further diversify the curriculum, highlighting how inclusion at school can have a life-long impact on all learners including those who are LGBTIQA+.
