Disabilities, Ableism and Unconscious Biases Lessons

This pack contains Religious Education / Philosophy and Ethics resources aimed at KS3 (Years 7, 8 or 9). This pack provides content for 3 one hour lessons. These resources could also be used at GCSE level. Purchase of this pack includes:

3 x PowerPoints
2 x worksheets
1 x answer sheet

These resources aim to debunk some of the commonly held myths and stereotypes about people with disabilities. One key task included involves exploring the history of how people with disabilities have been treated. Students will then also research the treatment of people with disabilities in the UK today. This will involve exploring several contemporary UK issues; such as the UK abortion laws surrounding fetuses with disabilities/Down’s Syndrome. In the third lesson, students will link their study of disabilities to unconscious biases. They will learn about what unconscious biases are and how these impact the way we treat other people.

These resources are also available to buy as part of a larger 10 lesson unit of work entitled ‘Celebrating Diversity - Unit of Work’ available on my TES page.
