In what ways did this kit empower your students to challenge racism? It gave the power and self determination to explore and study other cultures and see how they were treated. The American races was a topic which brought to the fore the disadvantages of being a minor power in a country with racial dissention. Led to discu

How effective was the use of social Media for Fighting Social Injustice Instagram was an area we did not venture into as the time was spent on their own individual self directed learning of the topic.
In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? The journal helped me to track the tamariki and myself, with conversations and outcomes with a checklist of achievements in our journey of racism. Questioning each other with blunt frank discussions with questions like "what if?" scnarios.
“In the kit the information enabled students to challenge and research more about the criticism of each race and inequality of voice. Their experiences led to discussions with their kaumatua as they explained how they were challenged with racism when growing up. Very informative and emotional retelling of victimisation and condemnation of Maori tikanga and kawa by the early teachers in kura.”

How effective was the use of social Media for Fighting Social Injustice It certainly helped keep the students engaged - small amounts of information - specific and 'digestible' Great pictures and the format of the posters were great - consistent and not too 'busy'.

“Excellent kit to start conversations with students. It took us on a journey all around the world and opened students eyes to their own (and my own) values systems, influences and prejudices that have been passed off as 'normal' and 'acceptable'. It reinforced my growing awareness that empathy and socio-emotional awareness is a need in our students that must be addressed.”

In what ways did this kit empower your students to challenge racism? We examined Maori incarceration rates and racial profiling by the NZ police in some depth. I would love to have examined the slow and inequitable vaccine roll-out by the Ministry of Health, but unfortunately by that stage of the year, our students were in

In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? Being Pakeha, I was initially challenged by some of the materials including the Teacher Journal challenge, but realized that by reframing my attitude I was able to avoid taking offence. Unfortunately, I did not devote sufficient time or consistency to the
“Our jnr students - yrs 9 - 11 akonga (around 120 students this interrupted year) used the kit to unpack and begin to address the lens of white supremacy which is the default settings that NZ society employs. Our akonga at Te Kuiti High School are over 60% Maori, plus Pasifika and Asian, leaving around one third Pakeha. So during my three years at TKHS they have been on a journey as I have used issues like the Black Lives Matter movement to consistently return our korero to the ethnic implications for NZ health, education, justice, employment etc... The Challenging Racism kit has been provocative and challenging for some, but excellent in helping akonga to view the world from a Treaty based perspective.”
