Currently work in the Youth Justice Service developing programmes of intervention for young people in the service.
Past experience working as a teacher of Art and Graphics in a young offenders institute, teacher in alternative provision education specialising in SEMH & SEND, and mainstream secondary teacher of Design Technology and Art & Design.
I pride myself on creating visually appealing resources with interesting content that appeals to young people who are disengaged from education.

Black culture doesn’t always stem from a country of black origin; due to colonisation, slavery and immigration black culture has travelled across the world.’

A sheet is provided to print and answer onto.
Answers and information are given for each, plus additional images showing where each trend originated from

Black History Month 2024
Raising Narratives
This upload is a task that can be run in different group or 1:1 sessions.
Full Room – perfect for group situations
Print out the labels of AGREE, DISAGREE and DON’T KNOW/MAYBE
Stick them across the room (ideally agree and disagree on either side and don’t know in the middle)
Read out each statement and ask the class/group to stand where they feel they would respond to each statement
You can then pick individuals to ask why they have chosen to stand there/why they think that
Try to encourage free thinking rather than following their friends!
Smaller Group – perfect for small groups or 1:1 sessions
Print out the labels of AGREE, DISAGREE and DON’T KNOW/MAYBE
Print out all of the statements
Lay the labels of agree/disagree/don’t know out across the table
Ask the young people to work together or to do the task individually and to place each statement next to the appropriate answer to show how they feel about it
You can then ask why certain statements have been placed in certain places
These can help to encourage deeper thinking and to challenge thoughts about the topic.
I also have a range of BHM factfiles with lots of information and quotes - see my other uploads!
