1. Write these questions on the board. Ask students
to write responses.
Do I treat some of my classmates differently than others?
Do I help my classmates when others are being unkind to them?
Does my school help when students are being discriminated
against? Am I encouraged to explore other religions, races
and cultures in my studies? Am I aware of my own prejudices?
Am I working to change them?
2. Distribute the action planning sheet (see next

implement a plan for change, a tool for creating a more inclusive

or in small groups.
3. When students have completed their individual action
plans, ask volunteers or a group representative to share their
