In what ways did this kit empower your students to challenge racism? It didn't really, to my understanding. Racism is often experienced in face-to-face conversations and confrontations. This kit did not provide resources to help students address this kind of racism. I would question who this kit's target audience is too.

How effective was the use of social Media for Fighting Social Injustice Not all of my students use Instagram quite in that manner and I felt that this did not meet my student's interests.

In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? I felt that the resources were really leading! My Degree is in Anthropology and Sociology and I felt the resources were shallow, lacked authority, and were not integrous.

“The kit was beautiful and wonderfully created. However, I felt there could have been more activities for students and there were missing elements like what is racism? Where does the idea come from? What is colonisation and it's role in racism in New Zealand? It lacked real depth, sadly.”

In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? Have already done a similar activity and because of my upbringing i have experienced first hand racism. Always good to have a tool to channel reflection.

“Great to have resources ready to use with students that I do not have to make. Provided an opportunity for students to engage in the topic and to wxplore their own values and stereotypes. With a culturally diverse student body this proved very effective to get students to examine their beliefs.”

In what ways did this kit empower your students to challenge racism? Our students here in Opotiki had trouble connecting with the different cultures listed on the posters as they have no real frame of reference to them. More pre-discussion on this or even some phrases from other students who have dealt with racism might ha

In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? I enjoyed the teacher journal but it's mahi I've already done and didn't really challenge my thinking much. I'd be interested in seeing whether this has changed other people's perspectives to realise how inherently racist NZ is as a country.

“We really enjoyed using this resource. It would have been good to have had a QR code to the teaching resources or some basic teaching resources in the pack with info on how to use the rauemi in the pack.”

In what ways did this kit empower your students to challenge racism? We really focussed this year on creating a classroom environment where we were able to have open, honest conversations about difficult topics and this helped us with that. I called them 'critical conversations'. Students often think of other countries/peo

In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? I loved this. I thought it was brave, bold and challenging. I've done a lot of personal reading on anti-racism this year to help me navigate those tricky conversations in class. This journal was part of my reading.

“Loved it and thank you for creating it. It is timely and challenging and something the students are keen to learn about and talk about.”

In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? It made me consider how I unconsciously approach things in everyday life which was somewhat confronting

“Use of Not Part of my World I used it in two different ways. With the younger students and also parts with my senior English class. It was very flexible and able to be adapted”

In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? Provided prompts for me to think about my own viewpoints and why. I could reflect on my background and experiences and how that adds to my teaching. Slightly uncomfortable at times but worthwhile.

In what ways did this kit empower your students to challenge racism? The kit gave us some ideas but we did not use the kit as such with our students. The pictionary game while it looked engaging was not suitable for our year 9 and 10 students who we felt did not have the maturity to engage with this game.

In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? The Teacher Journal was a great reflection of our teaching and us personally. The staff who completed the tasks all acknowledged that this was a useful tool.

“The kit had some great ideas which we used to create our own lessons with. The teacher guidelines/PL was very useful. We felt the kit itself was 'too loose' in terms of lessons and that it was not pitched at the year 9 and 10 students but at a higher level.”
