[quote=Anonymous]They shouldn’t have anyone talk “at” them, whether it’s a large assembly or a small group. They should have students who’ve been negatively impacted by this type of behavior and who are willing to lead small discussions and come armed with guiding questions. The kids can be from other schools if it’s too hard for anyone to do it at their own school. Churchill leaders need to get creative and make it interactive and personal, maybe require each kid to bring in their own question that opens discussion, and have a way for kids to anonymously contribute anecdotes that the group can then discuss/dissect, perhaps something painful that happened to a sibling or a cousin. Or they can use a real-life YouTube video to spark conversation. They could even break it down into groups of three or four, then come together as a slightly bigger group to share out pieces of those smaller conversations. Have a pro/con conversation and make the kids argue both sides. They’ll at least start thinking more critically about all the issues at stake. And then at the end of all the discussions have them reflect in writing on how their views did or didn’t change from the time they first started these conversations. A teacher should act as a facilitator but take a step back and only intervene when someone is inappropriate or the group needs redirecting or some small piece of instruction. [/quote]
