CHOICE 1: Case study: Entering High School 9th graders

You are being considered by the school district to do a training for all incoming 9th graders. You are being asked to submit a proposal for how you would train the 400 incoming 9th graders on some of the perspectives and skills on page 203. YOU CHOOSE WHICH OF THESE YOU WANT TO FOCUS ON TEACHING. CHOOSE AT LEAST 3 THINGS YOU WILL TEACH TOTAL FROM THE PERSPECTIVES AND SKILLS LISTED. WHAT DO YOU THINK 9TH GRADERS NEED TO KNOW?

The district has told you to prepare a proposal three-hour training. They are expecting some push back from parents and students with the following rebuttals: “it’s not a school’s place to teach values” and “politics has no place in schools.” (page 186). Your job is to write up a proposal for how you would handle the training based on the perspectives and skills you deem relevant and how you would handle the rebuttals.

The available demographics of the incoming 9th graders are: 51% female, 45% male; 4% gender fluid; 43% White, 25% African American, 15% Latinx, 14% Asian American, 3% Native American. 30% on free and reduced lunch.

WRITE UP WHAT YOUR THREE HOURS OF TRAINING WOULD ENTAIL. AT THE END, IN PARAGRAPH FORM, DESCRIBE HOW YOU WOULD HANDLE THE REBUTTALS.

OR CHOICE 2- Adults in a local community prevention center

A new alcohol and other drug abuse prevention center has just been created in Richmond, CA. You have been hired to teach the new staff and volunteers some of the critical social justice perspectives and skills on pages 206-7. Make sure to include skills for the dominant group, and intersectionality for both White women and women of Color.

Demographics of the group include: Two affluent White women, one affluent Black woman who is the Director, one middle-class Hispanic gay man, two lower SES Latina women, and two middle-class Asian men.

Some members of the group are pushing back by claiming the following rebuttals (page 189-190): insisting on immunity from socialization and ignoring intersectionality. How would you handle that within the scope of the training?
