Abstract

This paper presents on how teachers in the UK are framing their approaches to anti-racist curriculum making through decolonial praxis. We draw upon data from teacher interviews and findings from two impact case-studies; 1) continued professional development (CPD) materials developed by the Chartered College of Teaching, UK, through their Decolonising and Diversifying the curriculum course; 2) the creation of an online network (UK) for history teachers, with a focus on decolonising curricula and practices through methods of co-production. Findings from both case studies indicate that teachers' access to robust evidence informed continued professional development tools for anti-racist curriculum making give pedagogical confidence in challenging and transforming the limitations of knowledge given by the myopic Eurocentric discourses of the national curriculum. Decolonial praxis enables teachers to plan and implement approaches to pedagogy framed pluralistically by a diversification of knowledge in curriculum making.
