Hello!
Welcome back to the next episode of the Unlearn Something Podcast!
Today we have Miss D interviewing the amazing Leila from Energy Garden and the brains behind Black British Studies on Instagram. We delve into a lively conversation about History and Geography and how it is taught in UK schools and what we need to do to improve it.
Leila sheds light on the successes and challenges of being a Head of Department in secondary schools and coming up against resistance to change - even when it means a more impactful and equitable outcomes for students and professional development for teachers.
We also get the chance to celebrate and discuss Leila's work with Energy Garden and her other projects; including Black British Studies on Instagram. I also suggest that Leila needs to find the time to write a book.
I really enjoyed this interview and I hope that you enjoy listening as well!
** I referred to Energy Garden as EduGarden more than once during the episode. I apologise for this error.
