Project Description

This project will involve student teachers reflecting on aspects of teaching the English National Curriculum, and the scope of interweaving or the possible encumbrance of supporting children's understanding about aspects of social and climate justice. There is additional scope to support teachers to better understand the relevant underpinning legislation for example, the Equality Act and associated guidance for schools, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy 2018-2025, and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The three broad research questions of the study are:
How confident are trainee teachers in supporting/ designing lessons in the curriculum e.g., in National Curriculum subjects, that may address social or climate justice aspects?
What barriers and enablers to social and climate justice aspects do trainee teachers encounter when implementing the curriculum?
How has social or climate justice aspects explored in teaching practice influenced (or not) trainee's identities as future teachers?
