In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? Have used the journal in a previous kit - always good to self reflect.
This kit included some cool activities that were engaging for students. Great visuals and information. Unfortunately, lockdown did interrupt our progress during the unit.

In what ways did this kit empower your students to challenge racism? I’m unsure of the impact these had on our students. I am aware they were encouraged to use the kits in a positive way.

These kits were distributed to our culture groups at school. Our African group and Pasifika group used them as starters for meetings.

How effective was the use of social Media for Fighting Social Injustice Worked very well with those who had previous knowledge of the app, was a challenge for students who had no access.
In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? Overall encouraging engagement when we got the chance to use effectively.
Unfortunately I joined very late in the year, I am hopeful that I can start the kit again in 2022

In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? Lots of big ideas for teachers to engage with and reflect on their own assumptions and how they impact their practice.
Unfortunately due to the extended lockdown in Auckland we didn't get much of an opportunity to use the resources with students, although we did try to adapt some of the resources for online discussion. I did enjoy the teacher resources and we will continue to use the kit in our Human Rights and Migration units in 2022 where we explore issues of racism.

In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? Because our kits arrived 4 weeks into the term in which we planned to use the kit I didnt really use the journal.

How effective was the use of social Media for Fighting Social Injustice Our kids don't necessarily use Social media for good, so this was great.
In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? Not so much challenge but definitely reinforce my views.
Challenging racism is a constant and this kit is hugely important in our journey. I love how easy it is to use and how broad the examples are.

In what ways did this kit empower your students to challenge racism? Students became far more aware of their language used, situations faced and disparity within the city. The challenge is now to implement and secure the long lasting learning which is always the problem. Certainly girls were far more aware than the boys. I

How effective was the use of social Media for Fighting Social Injustice Its another tool but our students live in the technology bubble and see this as another way of trying to be relevant. These platforms are good and bad
In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? Unfortunately Covid interruptions impacted the full use of the journal.
The kit was used in a high decile private school in the South Island where racism isn't seemingly an issue but using the resource awakened the students preconceived ideas and allowed for an awareness that subtle racism or segregation is within all societies. We can study racism from around the world but really it is what happens in the faces of the students that really is the learning. Unfortunately using the kit fully was impacted by Covid interruptions and rejigging the year planner but will fully and completely use the Kit next year

In what ways did this kit empower your students to challenge racism? Most students believe that racism is something that happens in other countries - such as the US. They are seldom aware of the why.

In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? Didn't really use this.
Some great physical resources were available in the kit but unfortunately I could not access any of the links included with the teaching materials. This was disappointing and I was too busy at the time to follow it up. I am Intending to re-use the kit next year (in more depth as it was very rushed in term 4) with a year 10 class so will try again to access what looks like excellent resources and if I do not have any success, I will contact you. However, these kits are amazing and I thank you all for your hard work - they are an invaluable resource for all teachers.
