2) CEOs
watched/listened to the
"Caring
and Respect" slideshow presented by the board
and advisor.
(click on title to download PowerPoint slides
presented at workshop)
3) The
slideshow presentation was followed up by brainstorming
situations in which disrespect or uncaring attitudes
were observed in school-related events. Some of
those mentioned include but are not limited to
the following:
- When teachers
interrupt/ignore you
- When people
flaunt their money, bragging about their Tiffany's
stuff and Coach purse
- When people
gossip about you behind your back
- When teachers
ignore you when you raise your hand
- When you
say "hi" to a stranger and they don't respond
- When teachers
interrupt you while you are trying to talk to
another teacher
- When counselors
treat you differently based on your grades or
parental involvement
- When people
say that something is "gay" or "retarded"
- When people
make stereotypes about how "Asian" Oxford is
- When teachers
favor students (i.e. advanced studens in a beginning
band/choir class)
- When the
so-called "popular people" look down on others
like they're better than everybody
- When religious
clubs are active on campus and separation of church
& state is ignored
- When someone
else dresses differently and people make fun of
them
- When invitations
say "everyone is invited" but you didn't get one,
or when you go and you feel uncomfortable because
no one associated with you
- When people
make fun of you for being smart and having a 4.0
- During
group work, having to go from group to group asking
to join
- When someone
speaks in a language I don't know, I feel excluded
- While
at a dance, and people say "(so-and-so) can't
dance"
- When people
ignore you just because they cannot conceive the
idea you are trying to say
- When people
think they're better than you because of your
weight
- When you
are put in a group and the "popular" people seem
to not want to associate with the "unpopular"
people
- When the
"popular" people exclude others by calling them
names or throwing dirty looks
- When people
get bullied and picked on because they're not
average size (smaller or bigger than normal)
- When teachers
only choose boys to carry things
4) Worksheets
were distributed to CEOs while they took turns
writing observations on the board.
-
"Pyramid of Hate" talked about the roots
of genocide being acts of bias and how simple
thoughts can escalate into immoral actions.
- "How
to Intervene" focused on steps for teachers
to combat bullying and discrimination, so we
used this as a springboard to offer suggestions
on how students would deal with these issues.
(Materials were provided by the
Anti-Defamation
League's
"A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE Institute" training.)
5) CEOs
were then split into groups to discuss and identify
the most pressing issues, and also to offer
solutions to the problems or positive ways of
dealing with the situations generated.
