Participants will become more familiar with two tools – the Identity Wheel and the Racial-Ethnic Identity Models – for students to apply to their analysis of literature and historical material. These tools aid students in thinking critically about characters from diverse backgrounds and reflect on their own views. This session builds on material covered in the “Racial-Ethnic Identity Models” and the “Diverse Literature in the Classroom” session, but can be taken on its own.

Consciously, most of us strive to treat everyone the same, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, etc… The reality is that we have many unconscious biases that impact our thoughts and actions many times each and every day. While this training cannot eliminate your implicit biases, it can start the process of making you more aware of how they influence your role as an educator, and provide strategies on how to diminish the impact they have on you.

Educators have strived to create safe spaces for their students to feel appreciated and respected for years. There is, however, a need to make sure our safe spaces are also brave spaces where students feel they can both challenge and be challenged. Brave spaces allow students to put forth ideas and arguments that may be controversial so that we can address them in an appropriate environment. This session is designed to start the process of creating such an environment.
