Meri Maroutian is a Delta-qualified teacher based in Parma, Italy. Having lived and studied mainly in Malaysia, America and Italy, she has become aware of the social injustices reserved for those who are forever perceived as foreigners or “non-native” speakers of any given language.

How do we improve racial literacy in schools?: The Sunday Lunch Show with Kalil Rouse

Pastoral CPD returns with another instalment - this time it's all about what it means to be racially literate and whether schools need to do more to ensure it's staff and student body are adequately equipped to speak about and deal with issues of race. A lot of professionals give their insight on how best to deal with some of the more nuanced instances that can occur throughout the school day. 
In the latter part of the show, Kalil is joined by Nissie who speaks about how to properly deal with a situation where a child has accused a teacher of being racist.
