Improving LGBTQ+ Inclusivity in the Biology Curriculum & 1:1 Support Session Package RA913 / A69

Secondary science teachers and non-subject specialist staff often have to teach parts of the curriculum which include sex and reproduction at KS3. Current practice often enforces the idea of a gender binary and uses very narrow human examples where gendered terms and sex terms can become confused. It also often serves to ‘other’ non-nuclear family dynamics. This can make the topic daunting if teaching mixed cohorts of students that include those who identify as non-binary or trans, as well as students from same-sex families. 

This session identifies common issues and challenges that can make these lessons isolating, and offers practical ways of updating language and examples to create a more inclusive topic overview that can broaden student’s understanding and look past traditional binary concepts. Progression in this area is supported by the national curriculum, exam boards, and other educational bodies. This session will be of interest to secondary science teachers as well as science/curriculum leads looking to update their approaches and support their staff in increasing inclusivity when covering these topics. 

The Package:

•  Improving LGBTQ+ Inclusivity in the Biology Curriculum Remote session - 3rd June 2024.
