June is 🏳️‍🌈 so we are celebrating LGBTQ+ people in STEM and Education from around the world.

Why is Pride Month important?
❌ Over 60 countries criminalise same-sex sexual acts
❌ 12 counties impose the death penalty for same-sex sexual activity
❌ 13 counties criminalise expression of transgender people
❌ Gay marriage is not legal in around 150 countries
❌ Around 1/8 LGBTQ+ people experience unequal treatment from healthcare staff
❌ Almost half of all transgender people have thought about taking their own life, and 1/8 LGBTQ+ people aged 18-24 had attempted to end their life

Sally Ride, Alan Turing, Brigitte Baptiste, Joseph Sonnabend and Nergis Mavalvala are celebrated here for their work in STEM, and their LGBTQ+ identity is a part of what makes them who they are. Positive, visible role models are important in education - as the lawyer and civil rights activist Marian Wright Edelman said: "You can't be what you can't see".

Who else would you add to this list of inspiring LGBTQ+ people?

As part of a school visit today I got shown around the school farm by one of our previous student teachers. What a super resource for this school!

It's our fourth and final ITAP of the year! This week we are looking at SEND, adaptive teaching and co-production - the importance of working with parents and carers for inclusive education. Student teachers are on campus today and Friday and at school during the week, putting theory into practice.

🦠 Model cells in an observation lesson last week with year 9. Our student teacher was putting theory into practice with this one. Which is your favourite model specialised cell?
