Session title:

A school based Journal Club: Reflections and examples

Abstract/brief summary:

Homewood School and Sixth Form Centre has maintained a thriving Journal Club for the last three years. In this series of recordings I reflect on how this has been achieved and share four recorded virtual meetings that we have created together in the COVID era of restricted social gatherings. This podcast would be of interest to anyone hoping to set up or join a journal club as well as any one interested in our featured topics: Black History in the school curriculum, supporting students with LGBT identities, Home Learning during the COVID-19 school closures, and recognising and respecting neurodiversity in the classroom.
