Curriculum Conversations (Episode 3): Bennie Kara on inclusive curriculum leadership

Diversity has emerged as a key theme in the Curriculum and Assessment Review - and it’s prompting important questions about what pupils see, experience and feel in their learning.

I sat down with Bennie Kara, author and a leading national voice on diversity, belonging and curriculum inclusion, to explore what strong leadership for an inclusive curriculum looks like - and what it means for pupils to feel a sense of belonging in what they learn.

Watch our 20-minute conversation for three key takeaways to support inclusive curriculum design:

• A clearer understanding of what inclusive curriculum leadership looks like beyond individual classrooms.
• Insight into how representation and belonging can shape pupil outcomes.
• Practical ideas on what leaders should stop doing, and start doing, right now.
