It’s important to talk about micro-aggressions. Here are some prompts to help start the conversation:
Prompt 1: If a student in your class has a hair pick would you consider a hair pick would you consider it to be dangerous? Would the student be unapproachable because they have a hair pick? Would you also consider hair brushes and combs to also be dangerous?
Prompt 2: What would you do if a classmate was being discriminated against? Would you have done the same thing if it were your best friend, family member or a loved one?
Prompt 3: How do you build relationships with people from other cultures? Would you sit and listen to someone try to explain something of a cultural difference to you? How would you want someone to react if you were explaining something of a cultural difference to them?
