Beyond Labels: Suffolk Secondary Network CPD

To mark the end of our Beyond Labels: Celebrating Disability in Suffolk project, we are hosting a CPD event to share our new resources - developed with local schools and Banham Education Consultancy. These will be classroom-ready resources, designed to educate young minds of disability through time, the change in attitudes, and to create support and empathy for peers with lived experiences of disability.

This CPD will provide:

• An opportunity to be part of a subject based community that shares best practice.
• Updates on key messages from Ofsted and the Schools History Project.
• Links to resources and high-quality CPD events.
• Advice and guidance on building local history and diversity into the History curriculum.
• A focus on ‘Disability History’. Surveys reveal that many schools have positively changed the level of diversity within the curriculum. However, the progress did not appear representative of all groups – only 2% of respondents always included disability history.
• As part of their ground-breaking Beyond Labels exhibition, the Hold have produced a fully resourced historical enquiry that explores attitudes towards disability from the Ancient Greeks to the present day. This free resource also develops the disciplinary thinking that students need to succeed at GCSE when they tackle thematic studies.

Lunch will be served from 12pm, please let us know of any dietary requirements as soon as possible.

With thanks to the National Lottery Heritage fund, we are able to offer this as a free event.
