325: The missing parts of history teaching with CARGO Classroom

CARGO is led by Lawrence Hoo, a POET and Charles Golding filmmaker and creative director. From their own experiences in school and from their observations today, they understood that there are large parts missing from the History that is taught in schools across the UK. These missing parts include:The perspectives of individuals of African and African Diaspora descent.Recognition of the resilience, contributions and visionary leadership of individuals of African and African Diaspora descent.CARGO Classroom resources are made so that these stories could be included in the History that is taught in schools at Key Stage 3. The lessons use poetry, film and illustrations to help pupils engage with the lives they are learning about. The lessons have been designed so that they can either be taught in a sequence, or experienced individually.Websitewww.cargomovement.org/classroomSocial Media Informationinstagram.com/cargomovementtwitter @cargomovementShow Sponsor – National Association for Primary Education (NAPE)Primary Education Summit – ‘Visions for the Future’ – March 2023Book NOW at www.nape.org.uk/summitNext live Education on Fire video podcast Wed 8th Feb 5.30pm GMT on YouTube @educationonfire5530Mentioned in this episode:NAPE Al Kingsley Summit PromoWatch Mark Taylor interview Al Kingsley about 'Creating Digital Strategies for Schools' as part of the Primary Education Summit 2023 - Visions for the Future - presented by National Association for Primary Education (NAPE) https://www.educationonfire.com/creating-digital-strategies-for-schools/
