Blog Task 3: Race
Racism in UK education remains deeply embedded, not just in individual interactions but within the very frameworks shaping assessment, careers, and institutional culture. The articles and videos all underscore a crucial message that anti-racism is not about surface-level representation but structural transformation. Before reading Alice Bradbury’s article, I had no idea that a Baseline Assessment…

Formative assessment: Intervention summary proposal draft
Aspects of Diversity to ConsiderI would like to focus on supporting dyslexic and neurodiverse students by making our workshop resources and learning materials more accessible.

Blog 2: Faith, religion and belief
Faith does not exist in isolation but is deeply intertwined with other aspects of identity, including race, gender, and socioeconomic status. Across all three resources; Appiah (2014), Trinity University (2016), and Jawad (2022), a recurring theme is the complexity and intersectionality of religious identity.

Case Study 3: Assessing learning and exchanging feedback
In the workshop, although we’re not directly involved in assessments, we engage with students day-to-day by providing verbal feedback on design choices, technical improvements, and key considerations.
