#bcedchat I would suggest that no matter the #s breaking through segregation of racial constructs is key . Even term "white" is limiting.

Q2 is on the way from @KennethHeadley! #bcedchat

mme_angelee Sep 17 @ 10:11 PM EDT

#bcedchat A1: wondering if/how these conversations are taking place in a primary classroom? I don’t recall it ever coming up for me

ChristineYH Sep 17 @ 10:11 PM EDT

Killer first question. I don't think I've ever discussed race in my class but it's something I've dealt w/ personally all my life. #bcedchat

Jaibyrd123 Sep 17 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A1: comfort level directly correlated to intent. If Ss, Ts, Ps believe we have pure intent, we can address almost any content #bcedchat

A3 Thoughtless comments fueled by stereotypes. Call 'em out gently: "Did you really mean...?" Challenge 'just-joking' defense. #bcedchat

CraigMah - Moderator Sep 17 @ 10:25 PM EDT

I've seen "relationships" come up a few times. Critical component to any conversation. #bcedchat

A3- Ss use the "n-word" b/c of hip hop music and teachers will ask me to address it- it can be powerful coming from those teachers #BCEdChat

jfprovencher27 Sep 17 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A3 indeed, small little comments by other students that are affecting students but the majority of the time I have an open approac #bcedchat

MsVanBalkom Sep 17 @ 10:25 PM EDT

Q3: usually in stereotypes and I find we need to make Ss see others as individuals so they see how misguided those stereotypes are #BCEdChat

Jaibyrd123 Sep 17 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A3: yes as a T and admin. Deal with it theough dialogue. #bcedchat

A3.Took student aside; had a frank/direct conversation. Remind them racism/sexism/ableism/homophobia/transphobia are unacceptable. #bcedchat

jfprovencher27 Sep 17 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A4 hard conversation to have with student that lack diversity #bcedchat

lizbellteacher Sep 17 @ 10:25 PM EDT

ChristineYH Sep 17 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A4. No. #bcedchat But we're talking about relationships, respect & people. That's the underpinning of dealing w/ racism. #ventureforward
