Teaching about slavery

www.cre.gov.uk/teachingslavery.co.uk

Teaching about slavery is an on-line resource created by the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE) for all secondary and primary school teachers. The web pages pull together a range of materials to assist teachers when covering issues relating to the Transatlantic Slave Trade (TST). The website will assist in the teaching of the TST and wider black history issues. The pages have been created as part of the first stage of a wider CRE initiative to develop cross-curricula teaching resources on the TST for teachers, which will be available later this year. The pages also include links to other events to mark the Bicentenary during 2007, as well as websites on wider black history issues. Teachers are also invited to add to the site further resources they have found of use on these themes.
