Inclusion in the Early Years: Why, What, How (Parents and Guardians)Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee
Folk wisdom tells us young children don't notice differences or have any biases, yet research is telling us otherwise. What are age appropriate ways to develop intentionally inclusive and identity conscious children?
Young people bear witness to challenging or traumatic events in current events, media, and our local communities. Their thoughts, feelings, and reactions affect them whether we introduce conversations or not. We adults have a natural instinct to protect our children from harsh realities and yet prepare them to navigate this complex world - is it possible to do both? What are ways to talk about identity, difference, and justice in age appropriate ways? How do you reinforce school values without shutting down perspectives? How do you facilitate authentic and respectful dialogue across difference? Engage in these questions and more through this interactive session.
Gone are days when boys are made of "snips and snails and puppy dog tails" and girls are made of "sugar and spice and everything nice"... or are they? Children are barraged with messages about gender and heterosexual norms everywhere they go - their homes, their schools, the media, and more. Do you know what hidden lessons they are learning? How do gender and sexuality affect everything from boys struggling in school to girls dropping out of the STEM pipeline, from sexual harassment to anti-gay bullying, from eating disorders to plastic surgery? How do parents, guardians, teachers, and schools provide safe environments for positive self esteem, healthy identity development, and acceptance of differences?

WHAT I SAID AND WHAT I MEANT: IMPROVING CROSS-CULTURAL COMMUNICATIONS:
Humans communicate on many levels: spoken language, tone, body language, style and personality. The fact that we have complex cultural identities and a host of differing past experiences
increases the probability of cross-cultural miscommunications. This workshop presents major cross-cultural communication theories, ways that cultural values, power, privilege and differences affect the way we communicate, tools for questioning assumptions, and ways to improve cross-cultural communications skills.
Everyone has something that can bother them, even if it doesn't bother anyone else. Everyone is also uplifted by different things. Learn about No Joke Zones (NJZs) and Pump Ups, identify your own, and communicate them with one another to become a better friend, classmate, and community member.

Folk wisdom tells us young children don't notice differences or have any biases, yet research is telling us otherwise. What are age appropriate ways to develop intentionally inclusive and identity conscious children? What are some caring and relational ways to interrupt biased comments and navigate hurtful moments?
Session for parents and other caretakers. "It was only a joke." "I didn't realize what that meant." "My friend told me it was okay." Young people use derogatory language and perpetuate harmful stereotypes as they test boundaries, repeat what they hear in the media, attempt off color humor, and more. How do you navigate microaggressions - those words and actions that offend or hurt, even though they may be unintended? Learn some of the obstacles of authentic conversations, as well as practical strategies for when microaggressions happen. Discuss and practice how to “call in” privately, interrupt in the moment publicly, and receive interventions gracefully.

Who We Are and As We Are: Identity Based Leadership for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
In this day-long session, you will engage in exploring your own identities, the journey that got you here, and how it affects your interactions with students, colleagues, and families. Building on that learning, you will engage in learning and sharing best practices for cultivating leadership in others, ensuring voice in DEI conversations, and institutionalizing DEI as a habit as well as a professed value. Whether you are a DEI leader in school or in another role wanting to make DEI a core part of your practice, this day will provide opportunities to self-reflect, learn from others, and walk away with actionable strategies.

1.5 Day Session for Center for Spiritual and Ethical Education. Meaningfully defining diversity, inclusion, justice, culture, and cultural competency (and challenging how they are often used). Examining various aspects of our own identity and tapping into how othering and belonging happened for us. Strategizing around how to mitigate othering and how to improve belonging for various constituencies of our schools. Engaging in consultancy conversations about how to address a particular issue or challenge a school is facing.
In discussions of racial and ethnic diversity and equity, it is difficult to avoid juxtapositions between Asians and other People of Color groups. Higher test scores, college admissions, income, etc. imply that people of Asian and Pacific Islander heritage are doing better than everyone else, including Whites. And yet, this identity group contains within it a myriad of sub-groups that get lost in the conglomeration, and we fail to serve students if we don't acknowledge this diversity. API people experience the marginalization of invisibility - Southeast Asian, South Asian, and Pacific Islander peoples are often invisible in the equation of API with East Asian; API cultures are often invisible in the pedagogy of individual accomplishments and competition; API experiences are often invisible in conversations of racial opportunity gaps. From the impact of the Model Minority Myth to the Bamboo Ceiling, from the perpetual immigrant narrative to the rise of international API students in our residential programs, from the dance of identities of transracial adoptees to the intersectionality of factors that influence multiracial API identity development, are our schools prepared to be inclusive of all people who identify as Asian and Pacific Islander heritage?

What are differences between friends and frenemies? Why do women and girls especially have them in our lives? Learn to have healthier friendships, draw firm boundaries when you need to, and practice for your future relationships.
What is the difference between everyday conflict and bullying? Learn about different types of aggression and practical tools in responding to conflicts and bullying.
Beyond Sticks and Stones: Helping Youth Navigate Conflict and Bullying
With the heightened awareness of bullying in today's world, it's hard to know how to support our children. What is the difference between everyday conflict and bullying? How do boys and girls experience aggression differently? How do identifiers like sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, ability, and socioeconomic status affect aggression? Learn about different types of aggression and practical tools in responding to conflicts and bullying.
What are some ways we can approach differences so that everyone can share openly, feel "normal," and be valued for all their unique experiences and ways of being?

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

20. Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee (http://tiny.cc/rosettalee)
Can you lean on the
relationship?
Can you make it personal?
* Is your relationship
hierarchical? *
21. Being A DEAR
Affirm the person or relationship
Describe the behavior without judgment
Explain the emotion/impact and your filters
Assume positive intent
Request or suggest different behavior
*** Key Points: timing, I statements, actions not
adjectives, inside feelings not outside feelings***
Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee (http://tiny.cc/rosettalee)
22. Being A DEAR: An Example
I think you and I both agree we all have a
right to be respected and heard in this
community. When we were disagreeing
about budgets, you said, “You’re being
overdramatic,” and later, you called me a
“drama queen.” Statements like this make it
sound like I am being too emotional and
that my concerns are drama rather than real
issues. I am assuming you don’t intend to
police my tone or dismiss my concerns. I
would appreciate your not saying things
like this anymore. Thank you.
Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee (http://tiny.cc/rosettalee)
24. Are you speaking to the agent or
the audience?
Do you want to minimize harm to
the target group?
Do you want to educate?
Do you want to challenge social
norms?
Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee (http://tiny.cc/rosettalee)
25. Active Witnessing: Examples
Ask open ended questions
– “He looked suspicious”
– “How did he look? How was he acting? Why was that suspicious?”
Find out the experience motivating the comment
– “Why can’t they just speak English around here?”
– “It must be hard not to understand what people are saying around you.”
Use exaggerated humor to highlight what’s going
on (use sparingly)
– “You’re gay – what do gay people think about this issue?”
– “I’m not sure – I’ll go ask. It may take me a while, since there are millions of
gay people.”
Join the person and do not make yourself superior
– “She got that award because she’s Black and female.”
– “You know, I hear that a lot. I’ve been trying to figure out why we seem to
think when a Black woman gets recognized it must be because of ‘diversity’
or ‘affirmative action’ reasons rather than that she earned it.”

26. Listening to the Real Message
Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee (http://tiny.cc/rosettalee)
27. Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee (http://tiny.cc/rosettalee)
Is this about what you did or
who you are (guilt or shame)?
What is your mindset voice
telling you?
Might this be an opportunity to
learn and grow?
28. Listening and Responding Bravely
Listen with full attention
Don’t try to defend or respond right away
– Take deep breaths
– Acknowledge your feelings
Your mistakes don’t define you
– Be worthy of their trust and gift
Prioritize the Impact over Intent
– Apologize for real
*** Moving through these moments with grace is
called shame resilience. It’s a vital skill***
Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee (http://tiny.cc/rosettalee)
29. Listening and Responding: Examples
Rosetta Eun Ryong Lee (http://tiny.cc/rosettalee)
“I really appreciate your telling me this.”
“I’m so embarrassed that I did that.”
“I’m so sorry my words and actions made you feel
that way. No matter what I intended, it hurt you.”
“I’m pretty overwhelmed right now, and I don’t
want to respond in a way I’d regret. After I take a
few minutes, do you think you can help me come
up with a better way to handle that situation?”
“I wanted to go back to a moment I don’t think I
handled very well… Can we talk?”
30. Process Break

these tools in your
everyday life and more?

concerns come up?

34. “To be culturally effective doesn’t
mean you are an authority in the
values and beliefs of every culture.
What it means is that you hold a
deep respect for cultural differences
and are eager to learn, and willing to
accept, that there are many ways of
viewing the world”
