The teaching of Black history should not be confined to a single month, but rather it should be integrated into every aspect of the school curriculum. Global Black Narratives for the Classroom is a unique and practical resource that addresses this issue by providing primary teachers with a comprehensive overview of Black history, culture, and life within the framework of the UK's National Curriculum. This essential book offers teachers and teaching assistants historical, geographic, and cultural context to build confidence when planning and teaching. Each topic explored in this book includes full lesson plans and printable worksheets, along with tips to develop future lessons that align with the themes explored.

Volume II of this book explores various parts:

Part 1 guides teachers in planning and delivering lessons focused on Africa. Pupils will gain a diverse and accurate understanding of the changing nature of Africa throughout history, linking its social history with its geographical features.

Part 2 builds upon the lesson plans of Part 1 by further highlighting the interconnectedness of diaspora cultures in influencing the musical, visual, and religious practices of the Caribbean and Central America.

Part 3 begins by challenging the incorrect assumption that the history of Black people in the Americas begins and ends with plantation slavery. Instead, this section proposes a range of in-depth lesson plans on the diverse histories, cultures, and experiences of Black people within the United States.

Created by BLAM UK, this highly informative yet practical resource is an essential read for any teacher, teaching assistant, or senior leader who wishes to diversify their curriculum and address the historical and cultural gaps in education. By incorporating Global Black Narratives for the Classroom into teaching practices, educators can create a more inclusive and equitable learning environment that recognizes the contributions and experiences of Black people throughout history.
