Let's 'Talk' about the 'Walk'

'Fact is limiting...perspective is everything' (Tracy DW)


Welcome to this episode where Tracy DW shares her reflections
about what she has learnt through the process of planning her
'Lets Go for a Walk' learning program.


She promotes discussion about how educational practitioners can
best exploit resources and real life experiences in order to
achieve more diverse content in history lessons and during Black
History Month that is both relevant and accessible.


Tracy also uses her experience to test her strapline ('history is
a matter of fact...or perspective?') as well as explore the
argument about factual bias in the history curriculum and whether
practitioners are doing enough to create opportunities to address
this factual bias through uncovering 'untold' stories that can
create a balance of perspective as well as equal representation
when exploring the past.


If you're an educational practitioner or just have an interest in
history and education, feel free to comment below and share
approaches that you have used to promote a more diverse
curriculum in your educational setting.

Through her podcasts, Tracy DW promotes a more global approach to
