Curriculum resources: anti-sexism

The NEU is committed to tackling sexism, gender sterotypes and misogyny. and decolonising the curriculum.

This page is dedicated to resources which challenge these things. We have themed resources by phase. There is also a section for NEU members which may be useful in keeping you informed or as a source for the development of other resources.

We will use this page to host links to resources for educators to use in schools. These are resources that have been recommended to us by our members or produced by them. Please use your professional judgement to adapt any resources to suit your classes and the context in which you teach.
