Diverse Educators

Structured around the Equality Act and written collaboratively, Diverse Educators: A Manifesto aims to capture the collective voice of the teaching community and to showcase the diverse lived experiences of educators.The book is divided into ten chapters, one for each of the nine Protected Characteristics (Age; Disability; Gender Reassignment; Pregnancy and Maternity; Marriage and Civil Partnership; Race; Religion and Belief; Sex; Sexual Orientation) with a tenth chapter exploring intersectionality.Framed in theory and interweaving personal and professional narrative from over 100 contributors, this ground-breaking text responds to current and historic debates, while remaining accessible and solutions-focused, with high-quality input on practice, pedagogy, people management and policy.Each chapter shares provocations for the reader and for the school system on the changes we would collectively like to manifest in education.‘Comprehensive and insightful’ James Coleman‘This is a powerful resource for educators everywhere’ Dame Alison Peacock, Chief Executive Chartered College of Teaching‘Ambitious in scope and, appropriately, diverse in perspective’ Russell Hobby, CEO Teach First‘A must-read for anyone working in or with schools’ Andy Buck, Founder of Leadership Matters‘A genuinely extraordinary book’ David Weston, Chief Executive of the Teacher Development Trust‘Has the potential to make a real difference’ Samantha Twiselton, Director of Sheffield Institute of Education‘An upstanding and brave manifesto’ Karen Giles‘Teachers and educators will find it invaluable’ Steve Munby, Visiting Professor, Centre for Educational Leadership, University College London
