The course aims to develop together a clearer understanding of a whole school approach to gender equality which includes:
– Considering their own role as teachers in promoting gender equality through language use, relationships and classroom resources
– Considering the physical environment of the school

Interim tasks will be provided between the workshops to enable development and sharing of practice.
