Turn to your flower hand out: Shade in inner petals for any category that you feel is an essential part of your identity.Shade in outer petal for identities you derive societal power from.Walk of Privilege Statements – pg 12Stand up and arrange yourselves in a circle in the room.Slide6

What:

Flower of Power:

For what identities did you color in both the inner and outer layers?

Was this difficult or easy to fill in? Are there any identities you’re not sure how to fill in?

Privilege Walk: Which forms of privilege are you more aware of in yourself? Which had you not considered before?Were you surprised by any part of the activity?

REFLECTING ON OUR OWN

EXPERIENCES Slide7

So What:

Flower of Power:

Often, people focus more on the “inner power” parts of their identity. Why?

How would focusing on just these identities affect the way we engage with others?

Which, if any, of your societal privileges do you tend to take for granted? Have you ever incorrectly assumed that everyone else (or someone specific) shares one of your privileges?Privilege Walk: Often times people are more aware of the ways in which they experience oppression than the ways in which they experience privilege. Why?How would focusing on just these parts of your identity affect the way you engage with others? Which, if any, of your societal privileges do you tend to take for granted? Have you ever incorrectly assumed that everyone else (or someone specific) shares that privilege?

REFLECTING ON OUR OWN

EXPERIENCES Slide8

Now What:

Flower of Power: How might your inner powers and societal privileges differ from the students you’ll serve? In what areas might they overlap?

In the classroom, what can you do to be tactful in regards to potential differences in background and privilege between you and your students?

ScenariosSlide14

Scenarios

In your groups, discuss the scenario you were just handed.

Guiding Questions

:

How would you handle the situation?How would you apply the three principles?What follow-up or changes would you have in this class?

pg. 14 in your DC HandbookSlide15

Scenario 1

Today you’re leading Lesson 2, and you’ve noticed that very few of your students ever raise their hands to volunteer answers. When you ask them to write their thoughts down on in their student handbooks, most still don’t write much. When you ask them to discuss in small groups, you hear snatches of discussion in Spanish. What can you do to increase participation?

Ways to make sure all your students are engaged:

Don’t make assumptions about what students are capable of.

Work with students to find ways that they can engage - pairing with bilingual students and teachersIf students are struggling with understanding English, see if they want to work with another student who can help them translateCommunicate with the student translator to make sure they feel supported. Communicate with your teachers about their methods for engaging the classroom.Bilingual DCsSlide16

Scenario 2

Your class is in the middle of Lesson 4, and they’re consensus-building, so a portion of the class is trying to convince the rest to choose state regulations on abortion clinics as their focus issue for the semester. The discussion is getting heated. How could you respond tactfully and productively to inflammatory or excessively negative contributions from the students? When a few students become visibly upset, what do you do?

Possible ways to manage the situation:

More in depth questions

Find ways to make the issue relatableAsk what they’d need added to the focus issue to be more supportive of it.

Have them ask their peers questions about why this issue matters to them.

Come into contact with all students

Follow-up: Make sure students do research on all sides of the issueSlide17

Scenario 3

Your class has chosen income inequality among Boston wage-earning employees (as opposed to salaried employees) as its focus issue. During a discussion about the impacts of income inequality, a student uses a phrase you aren’t familiar with. When you ask him what it means, he explains that his family gets food stamps. What do you say next?

Possible ways to respond: Thank the student for explainingAssess your own assumptionsFollow the student’s lead, rather than trying to guess at his comfort level in sharingIf he is uncomfortable, redirect the class’ attentionIf he wants to share more, create space for him to do so

Check in one on one

Be honest about your own knowledge, background, and experiencesSlide18

Scenario 4

Your class spent Lesson 3 brainstorming community issues, and a lot of hot-button topics from the news right now, like immigration and Islamophobia, were suggested as issues to address on a city- or state-level. In their Exit Tickets, you asked students which of the narrowed list of issue ideas they were most interested in addressing and why. One of your students who is Muslim wrote that she wanted to choose Islamophobia, because she was scared that her family would never be able to visit their relatives ever again. How do you follow up from this?

Possible ways to respond:

Inform her teacher of her disclosure, to make sure they' know what's going onFollow up with your student individually to thank her for sharing Ask questions to identify how Islamophobia is affecting students on a local level and daily basis, for a possible focus issuePractice self-awareness-- does this focus issue jump out to you more than others? Make sure your own beliefs about what focus issues are more important doesn't override student perspectiveAt the beginning of the next class, thank students for sharing their personal concerns. Affirm the importance of inclusion and respect for all identities and experiences, and thank the students for working to create a supportive and safe space for each other in this classroomSlide19

Exit TicketSlide20

Exit Ticket

Discuss: Consider your own experiences as a student in high school and middle school.

When did one of your teachers effectively employ one of the three principles?

What exactly did they do, and what effect did that have on you?

Write down: THREE skills that you intend to prioritize in the classroom. Slide21
