All teachers are welcome
The webinars will reference the Interim Report, but will be packed with practical tips for the classroom, which will be useful for all teachers!
Looking to build media literacy and critical thinking?
The Curriculum and Assessment Review Interim Report for England, published in March, indicated a need for a meaningful shift in education.
The report drew attention to the need to broaden horizons, expose children to different perspectives, build cultural knowledge and heighten media literacy and critical thinking. Topical Talk does this.
We're running a series of free webinars for teachers on how to effectively bring discussions about current affairs into the classroom and directly address many of the report’s themes.
