Aisha recently developed a program, called 'What is in a name?", in an attempt to provide a framework for schools to begin to address the lack of black history in the current curriculum. Teachers reported to Aisha that they were very keen to add 'colour' in to the curriculum and support the 'decolonisation of the curriculum' agenda, however,many cited capacity and knowledge as a barrier to change. Project details: This project was a pilot in phase one of the development of the One Bristol Curriculum. Pilot was delivered in tree Bristol schools. Aisha is now in the process of developing phase two! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9YA4geZw_A (Video 1) https://youtu.be/aB889cAYwKg (Video 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAFRqelKNqI&t=12s (Video 3) ONE BRISTOL CURRICULUM (OBC) AISHA THOMAS EDUCATOR- KEYNOTE SPEAKER - PRESENTER An Assistant Principal for Inclusion at an inner-city secondary school, in Bristol SLE (specialist leader in education) for EDI (equality, diversity and inclusion) and Community and PSHE (physical, social, emotional and economic education) Curriculum and content curator Keynote speaker CPD/training - ('Why representation matters") AISHA'S PROFILE Aisha partnered with the BBC, to present a documentary for Inside Out West regarding the lack of black teachers in Bristol.
