“This was a great kit, bringing the students together and giving them some perspective that they may not have/have the experience that shifts their perspective.

What impact has the introduction of the action plan had on your classroom? We chose a couple of actions to focus on. Pronouncing people's names correctly was one of them. Anytime we come across a name we don't know how to say, we check and practice.
