Moves beyond abstract lessons by using real visual stories created by individuals living with disabilities and in recovery, encouraging students to see capability and perspective rather than stigma.
The next step is to spread the photographs, and only the photographs, on the desk and let the students choose which one appeals to them. You may ask them to work in pairs. That photograph becomes their photograph that they will work with over subsequent lessons. At this stage students only see the image and are encouraged to consider the story behind the photograph without background information. This captures their current thinking.
Each image has a companion document which is introduced later alongside other support materials. Students then reconsider their views based on what is actually happening in the image, based on the narratives provided and other materials provided by the charity partner.
Our teacher created CfE compliant Lesson Plans are designed to minimise preparation time. Choose between primary school and secondary school Educational Learning packs.
Through feedback from our pilot study, we hope to have struck the perfect balance between providing helpful guidance while allowing you the flexibility to use your experience to take the conversations in the direction you choose. This can also help you to engage those pupils who require a different approach.

In most Educational Learning Packs video content is included, which is shown to the class as a group. This often has the most impact as students hear those featured in the photographs talking. This brings yet another opportunity for discussion and learning.
