To stop kids from ruling- take them out into always and they can hash it out during lunch/ after class to facilitate a place where they can express, wants to provide facts and give light to both arguments 
- let each side tell their part, bring up different historical events and guide them through it. Race didn't just pop up because 

How make teaching moment?
- Address Rodney King Riots
- Full class based, needs to be discussed even if your curriculum doesn't cover it.

Should Admin be involved?
- impromptu discussion is one thing 
- can maybe put a lesson together for another day- have it approved by admin 
- not just the students in your class- talk to admin to create a school-wide program to educate them

-Making what falls under mandated reporting clear from the beginning of the semester
-Providing students with resources and information about options, regardless of personal choices
-Involve a counselor, psychologist, another trusted teacher (keeping it internal)

- returning to the context (humans)
- establish group respect/norms
- be prepared for unfiltered thoughts
- selecting resources that promote critical thinking]]> 2020-11-24 15:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/strpost/qiqe9caz0hz4q2af/wish/956605817 https://padlet.com/strpost/qiqe9caz0hz4q2af/wish/956620956 Initial Reactions
- Don't tear them down, maybe some misunderstanding. Ask if they are interested in learning. more later. Come to them openly and see where they're coming from and ask if they want to have a conversation later. If they say no, conversation won't happen but 

What if it was your CMT?
- wouldn't say anything to them because they're in a bigger position of power 
- use this as a teaching moment for yourself- I need to be an advocate for my students

- you should say something, especially the reverse racism piece
- ask them why they think that way, be inquisitive to get to the root where it's from, trying to have a greater understanding to make sure you don't fall into the same cycle

-important to push back, you need to advocate to higher up too ]]> 2020-11-24 15:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/strpost/qiqe9caz0hz4q2af/wish/956620956 studentteacher_morris https://padlet.com/strpost/qiqe9caz0hz4q2af/wish/956626492 - address as group or individually
- creating connections to make it applicable
- challenge them to justify their claim/cite evidence
- model!!!
- emphasizing: your words matter
- establish respect
- depends on place of malice or lack of understanding]]> 2020-11-24 15:30:50 UTC https://padlet.com/strpost/qiqe9caz0hz4q2af/wish/956626492 studentteacher_morris https://padlet.com/strpost/qiqe9caz0hz4q2af/wish/956626965 Advice for the students
- affirm their identity
- encourage them to gauge the context
- keep calm and gather info
- offering a safe space
- refer resources

Intervention with your colleague
- begin by assuming it was from a lack of understanding (not disrespect)
- make them aware of the situation (respectfully)
- offer resources/tips
- remind them: we're in this for the kids]]> 2020-11-24 15:30:57 UTC https://padlet.com/strpost/qiqe9caz0hz4q2af/wish/956626965 https://padlet.com/strpost/qiqe9caz0hz4q2af/wish/956652983 Need to shut it down quickly!
No, I'm not a racist and here's why...
If it's what you're teaching in the class, then 

Where did you interpret me being racist? I might have racial biases inside me. Make it a conversation, see your humanity and that you own up to mistakes. Confront this in the moment 

Recognize that you could have committed a microagression. Realistically, we've all committed a micro aggression at some point

If that student is comfortable enough to come to you, you should be open and listen ]]> 2020-11-24 15:36:33 UTC https://padlet.com/strpost/qiqe9caz0hz4q2af/wish/956652983 cfroehlich4 https://padlet.com/strpost/qiqe9caz0hz4q2af/wish/956659598 -Address students and let them know that everybody comes from different backgrounds.
-Watch students who are on free-or reduced lunches, that can be indicative of poverty levels. 
-Have dedicated units to teaching and understanding poverty and the conditions that drive it. ]]> 2020-11-24 15:37:58 UTC https://padlet.com/strpost/qiqe9caz0hz4q2af/wish/956659598 https://padlet.com/strpost/qiqe9caz0hz4q2af/wish/956670491 Use this as a learning moment to teach students how important a hajib is to females of the Muslim religion. ]]> 2020-11-24 15:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/strpost/qiqe9caz0hz4q2af/wish/956670491 https://padlet.com/strpost/qiqe9caz0hz4q2af/wish/956680267 "I wish we would have learned more about OUR history" said by a student of Color
- struck him by saying that 
All contents need to break the mold to incorporate multi-racial history and multi-racial literature. 
This is very real for students 
When we introduce race typically, it's from the white perspective- keep this in mind. ]]> 2020-11-24 15:42:21 UTC https://padlet.com/strpost/qiqe9caz0hz4q2af/wish/956680267 https://padlet.com/strpost/qiqe9caz0hz4q2af/wish/956682179 Brush up on your legal knowledge about praying in public schools.
