Resources for teaching ethnic minority children

There are many useful resources which can help teachers and support staff meet the learning needs of ethnic minority children.

These resources can include:

• Documents, guidance and research to improve senior leaders, managers, and teachers' knowledge of ethnic minority best practice and influence provision mapping and the whole school ethos
• Resources to display around the school and in the classroom to enhance the environment and make it more ethnic minority friendly
• Teaching and learning resources to use in the classroom and in small groups with English as an additional language learners to improve the acquisition of the English language
