About Hemisphere Education
Build racial literacy. Disrupt your brain. Change outcomes.
Hemisphere Education helps school leaders, teachers and student-facing staff combat bias.
It has been developed on the basis of extensive research and evidence of bias in UK schools, and its effect on outcomes for Black children. It blends government data, the experiences of hundreds of the UK’s highest achieving students, and 15 years’ experience into one hour of interactive online training, and continuous learning following that.
So far, 92% teachers said that Hemisphere helped them to understand black children’s school experiences better, and 86% say that they will make one or more changes to their approach to teaching.
Hemisphere Education has been developed by Rare, a multi award-winning expert in race equality, elite universities and elite employment.
"This is the best version of unconscious bias training that my staff could have. It’s non-confrontational, accompanied by high quality videos with factual information and statistics, and it allows them to feel some empathy and compassion. This isn’t just about race. It’s about wanting to do our best by our students – and we do that by building relationships and a sense of belonging.”
