How do I and you do race in D&T?
This is a question I've been thinking about for a while. Last year I recorded an episode from the heart about decolonising the D&T curriculum; this week I give an update on my progress and thinking since then and share news about some action a group of us are taking.

Claire Vickery talks this week bout her research exploring teachers' views of why the numbers of pupils studying GCSE D&T has declined. 

This is her dissertation study for her MA at the University of Buckingham; Claire is looking for participants - do sign up (before the end of October 2021) using the links below.

There are three aims of Claire's research project:

1. To undertake a formative evaluation which seeks to diagnose factors which may have contributed to a decline in D&T GCSE entries within England.
2. To gain an insider’s perspective and to lear from the real-life experiences of D&T teachers within England.
3. To consider solutions which could be implemented to increase D&T GCSE entries at a local level.
