|  Episode 2: How can I make my teaching gender-fair? In the 2nd episode of our new, ten-part podcast series, we consider how to make classrooms gender-fair places. First, we look at the three modules of the British Council MOOC, 'Gender in language education': Gender representation in teaching materials, Understanding gender equality in teaching practice and Working with Gender equality in Education; then gender expert and educator Bhavna Gupta identifies simple ways in which all teachers can ensure that all students are given equal opportunities. |

 Exploring teacher agency and identity through the Tree of Life approach Teachers need to be recognised as experts within the ELT sector. They often feel not valued enough, and this has an impact on their motivation and, consequently, on their performance. In this webinar we explore teacher identity and agency by looking at teachers' values, capabilities and aspirations. Join us on 17 December for a webinar with Maria Grazia Imperiale exploring teacher agency and identity through the Tree of Life approach. |

|  The school that tried to end racism Use this lesson to explore race equality and unconscious bias with your secondary and adult learners at CEFR B2 and above. The lesson plan is based around a UK documentary called 'The school that tried to end racism' and focuses on a project in a school in London in which 12- and 13-year-old students were tested for unconscious race bias, and then took part in a series of activities designed to tackle racism. In this lesson, students will watch a short clip from the documentary, read a text about the project and focus on collocations. |

The report concludes with a reflection on the ways forward and recommendations for the British Council's work in this area. |
