Learners identify discriminatory behaviors and analyze the harmful effects of excluding groups of people. They research strategies for creating a more inclusive school and community to respect human dignity. They develop an action plan and present recommendations to adminstration and student government. This may be a good unit for raising awareness of respectful vocabulary and promoting rights of LGBTQ students.
Learners identify stereotypical and discriminatory behaviors and practices. They define and give examples of positive actions and concepts related to addressing issues of intolerance.
Learners will analyze the harmful effects of discrimination on our society and give examples of the ways individuals have responded to violations of human dignity.
Learners will reflect upon what it means to be excluded or disrespected in a community and will develop a school climate survey to identify individuals or groups in their school community who feel excluded or disrespected.
In this lesson, learners will research and evaluate both personal and community strategies for creating a more respectful, inclusive school community, and present recommendations to the school board and administration. Learners will also examine the role of language in fostering inclusion and respect.
Learners will develop a presentation for younger learners on ways to decrease the exclusion felt by others in the school environment.
