Course Summary

Our 12-week self-paced signature course combines both the Simple Steps and Simple Songs courses together, and then it adds a few more valuable ingredients into the mix, so that you can experience a wholesome approach to promoting Diversity Awareness in your 3 to 7's and beyond.

Not only are there a range of extra bonuses - more teaching resources, optional links to follow to extend your learning even further, and teaching tips and suggestions to support your children - you will also receive a higher level of personal support and coaching to take your own professional practice and skills to the next level.  

To offer you a brief outline, this 12-week course provides the time and space needed to really delve into the issues, songs and challenges that are associated with ‘Doing Diversity Differently’.

Dr Clare Seymour

Clare has spent much of her professional career (over 30 years) in international settings. Part of her Doctoral research involved exploring the often hidden aspects of institutional racism. As a result she has a longstanding interest in, and passion for, promoting positive Diversity.

In addition to school music-teaching, Clare also has over 10 years' experience working as an international music examiner - an understanding and respect for Diversity is so crucially important in every aspect of her practice. 

In her work as a music-education consultant for the BBC she has completed several song-writing commissions for the 3 - 7 age group and loves the way she can weave pedagogical integrity and diversity awareness together through enjoyable and engaging songs.

Huge thanks to Dr Clare Seymour for sharing her wisdom via this superb online course I finally completed yesterday (thanks Clare for the extension!!) 🙄 Part of Clare’s Doctoral research involved exploring the often hidden aspects of institutional racism. As a result she has a longstanding interest in, and passion for, promoting positive Diversity - and did it with such clarity and care via this beautifully presented online course. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of this subject.
