Looking at this wheel makes me think that I am not as powerful as I thought I was. I am close to power in some categories but I am in the marginalized zone in many as well.\ https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255409750 2021-03-01 20:36:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255409750 Excellent metaphor kimberlydolin1 https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255410526 The differences between a caterpillar and a snail were a great way to explain how we can be vigilant and aware of small differences that can have a big impact.]]> 2021-03-01 20:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255410526 I really like the wheel but I don't think all the categories carry equal weight (in power) https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255411027 2021-03-01 20:36:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255411027 https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255411825 This wheel spoke to me during that meeting and opened my eyes to many other ways power and privilege are seen. We need to remind ourselves it is more than just race and gender and looking at this wheel should really give people different perspectives. ]]> 2021-03-01 20:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255411825 I was surprised to see privilege in a chart, as we always talk about it but never "see" it laid out quite like this. It really opened my eyes to how different groups of people are treated, and made me see some of my own biases. alyssa_gautieri https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255411927 2021-03-01 20:36:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255411927 I enjoyed this one.... https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255412114 2021-03-01 20:36:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255412114 Implicit Bias radwa_haggag https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255413481 This seems to be so relatable to many of the recent events our country has seen. We all know that racism has always been a part of how our country worked, but we tend to forget the impact of our implicit biases as well]]> 2021-03-01 20:37:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255413481 https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255414079 Impactful in identifying things that influence me.

]]> 2021-03-01 20:37:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255417029 I like how this video explains that our brains are constantly taking information in and actually creating biases we are not aware of https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255418061 2021-03-01 20:38:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255418061 Judging others sherriehoppe1 https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255419535 I just had a talk with my son that judging others is so much easier than not. We, as humanity, need to take a step back at look at ourselves before we look at others. It is really difficult to do these days when social media only shows the perfect parts...]]> 2021-03-01 20:38:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255419535 I wonder jasonricciardi1 https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255419679 what is the best way to identify blind spot bias within ourselves and how to address it with others]]> 2021-03-01 20:38:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255419679 Empathy is something that we have to cultivate in ourselves and our students. https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255419990

If I fell into multiple different places - where does that put me on the power wheel? Do I have power or am I marginalized? I don't think it was properly explained during the last meeting.]]> 2021-03-01 20:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255420021 Good metaphor peter_shaughnes https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255420051 2021-03-01 20:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255420051 https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255421790 The wheel is a great way to help people put themselves and others into perspective. I don't think having power can be so measured and categorized in this way. Like all things, not everything fits the definition. Is there implicit bias in this wheel?]]> 2021-03-01 20:39:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255421790 heathergandy1 https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255422042 It's easy to forget just how privileged you are. While I knew that I had some privilege growing up, the wheel makes it easy to see just how much it really was. ]]> 2021-03-01 20:39:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255422042 You are powerful in some categories but not in all of them. That is perfectly normal. https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255424838 2021-03-01 20:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255424838 Shockers sherriehoppe1 https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255426133 Never would think about body image and mental capacities as power. The wheel showed me that I have more power than I thought though I don't feel powerful. ]]> 2021-03-01 20:40:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255426133 The part of the video that particularly resonated with me was when the person standing still had "biases" thrown out all around him until finally his thoughts changed to "normal." Indeed, we all have implicit biases from what we see and hear, and this has been developing inside us since we were young! We need to identify the biases within us and work to disassemble them in order to have greater equity and equality. alyssa_gautieri https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255426293 2021-03-01 20:40:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255426293 janicelyczkowski1 https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255426392 I think this is a good way to explain how everyone is different to kids. It puts it into an animated version that is simple to understand.]]> 2021-03-01 20:40:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255426392 Great way to phrase this concept adamkaletski1 https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255426417 I think starting off a discussion or exploration of equity with a video like this is a good introduction to the topic. Rather than look at equity through the lens of a loaded topic that could immediately cause some to tune out of the conversation, starting with something unrelated to the current political discourse could be more effective. It is hard to disagree with the situation presented between the snail and caterpillar and it does a great job at keeping the door open for a discussion of equity focusing on more impactful and loaded topics.]]> 2021-03-01 20:40:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255426417 Well done! https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255426859 I thought this video was really well done and user friendly in helping everyone think differently in a safe way.]]> 2021-03-01 20:40:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255426859 Plain and simple way to communicate the message https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255427442 2021-03-01 20:40:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255427442 Fun fact.... kimberlydolin1 https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255427929 Dolly Chugh who spoke in this piece is a WWP graduate.

I think too often the term, racist is used when in fact one may not be racist. I think the younger generations need to understand the implications of calling someone a racist and understand the true meaning behind it. Calling someone a racist should not be taken lightly and thrown around "for lack of better words". ]]> 2021-03-01 20:41:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255433112 https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255434415 I think it was easy to look at privilege at something you either have or do not have. This chart helped break down the different aspects of privilege and hopefully shed light on the factors that could deter someone from feeling like they are equal. ]]> 2021-03-01 20:42:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255434415 jasonricciardi1 https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255436066 I like how both the caterpillar and the snail admitted that they don't know what it is like to walk in someone else's shoes (or slime trail). ]]> 2021-03-01 20:42:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255436066 Wheel of Power kimberlydolin1 https://padlet.com/kathryncubano1/ym365j9hher6smh7/wish/1255441888 According to this wheel, I should feel powerful because of the categories.
