Brave Space Activity by Mary Osnes https://padlet.com/osnesb/bjy2rf6egbhhlnhq support for your class to co- create a brave space to foster respectful but challenging dialogue within the classroom en-us 2020-07-29 13:00:53 UTC 2025-10-14 07:57:34 UTC hello@padlet.com Listen to understand. https://padlet.com/osnesb/bjy2rf6egbhhlnhq/wish/769602658 Approach conversation with the goal of understanding the perspectives being shared.]]> 2020-09-22 18:35:47 UTC https://padlet.com/osnesb/bjy2rf6egbhhlnhq/wish/769602658 Acknowledge different forms of respect, and that people are coming from different places. Naming it, rather than assuming we have the same understanding of respect. https://padlet.com/osnesb/bjy2rf6egbhhlnhq/wish/769606412
Naming behavior as opposed to naming an ideal. "This is respectful behavior...." What is the action, and the thing that you do. 

Naming the behavior without attaching our own biases. 

We can respect people even if we disagree with their ideas. 

Showing respect is giving the other person the space. 

You don't want to listen, and then counter with "yes but actually..."]]> 2020-09-22 18:36:43 UTC https://padlet.com/osnesb/bjy2rf6egbhhlnhq/wish/769606412 Emphasis on the process of how we'll learn together. https://padlet.com/osnesb/bjy2rf6egbhhlnhq/wish/769609143 Not necessarily focused on the outcome, but the process is where the learning will happen.]]> 2020-09-22 18:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/osnesb/bjy2rf6egbhhlnhq/wish/769609143 Understanding impact as a way to evolve https://padlet.com/osnesb/bjy2rf6egbhhlnhq/wish/769609539 2020-09-22 18:37:27 UTC https://padlet.com/osnesb/bjy2rf6egbhhlnhq/wish/769609539 community_engaged https://padlet.com/osnesb/bjy2rf6egbhhlnhq/wish/769612064
recognizing not everyone has the same experience

not ganging up 

framing a non-agreement with ideas and not the person - making the distinction

holding space for feedback - acknowledgement and taking responsibility for how one made people feel.

Be conscious of how people are absorbing your words; even if was not your intention.
