What impact has the introduction of the action plan had on your classroom? Surrounding environment is now more inviting and accepting and addresses all cultures!

How did using this kit change the environment in your classroom? Riding the waka together!! And classroom displays to create a better 'feel ' within the room.

“This was a great pack that allowed our students to address and confront quite a hefty topic, or which they wouldn't normally conversate. Although for some it was a bit of a 'hit home' process, it was transparent and honest.. It allowed for reflection on ourselves as individual, us as a class, us as a community, and our surrounding environment and what we implement to make things more accepting and inviting. There were, however, some topics that were skimmed over due to the sensitivity of the discussion and the relevance to some students in our classes.”
