LLP member schools: Come and join Donna Palmer from the EMTAS team at School Improvement Liverpool and Jenny Holder from Liverpool Learning Partnership for a special online CPD session for Black History Month.
Donna Palmer has worked as a Curriculum and Pastoral Support Officer for 20 years, helping to assess and support EAL pupils.
She has produced books and exhibitions about the history of Liverpool’s black community and the trade in enslaved Africans.
The talk will focus on Liverpool’s Afro-Caribbean community, charting its history and achievements and tracing the roots of the racism it has experienced.
Jenny Holder is the Reading Coordinator and Comms Manager at Liverpool Learning Partnership.
Jenny is an avid and eclectic reader with a particular interest in children’s and YA literature. She has postgraduate diplomas in both Children’s Literature and Strategic Literacy Leadership and won the 2021 Community Reading Champion prize at the Farshore Reading For Pleasure Teachers Awards for her work in encouraging reading during the pandemic.
She will be talking about the importance of using books to provide mirrors, windows and sliding glass doors (an idea which came from Dr Rudine Sims Bishop).
This session is suitable for colleagues in both primary and secondary and will be held on zoom.
Please note that this session is exclusive to LLP member schools.
