Saddleback Relationship BW Anti Bias Education & Social Emotional Learning Questions

part 1: 

First: After reading this week’s article/readings and lecture (ATTACHED), address the following questions:

1. Before you can write a holiday policy it helps to understand more about what people consider as significant observations and holidays. Review the ADL Calendar shared in this week’s module, and address the following:

• What 3 observances were the least familiar? AND  What would you like to learn more about? (Don’t just say none- This is an opportunity to ask questions of your classmates and learn from one another!)
• What myth or stereotype about your own religious or faith-based practice can you clarify or share with the class? Something that can be misunderstood or misinterpreted that you can help us learn more about? or share an observance that is missing and include information to help us learn something from you.

1. What topic from the reading can you bring up in discussion as a conversation piece or for further discussion or clarification? Identify the topic and explain why you selected this topic and what you want to talk about. (Please cite the reading you are referring to by (name, page#) in case someone wants to take another look)
2. What topic or idea from lecture can you bring up in discussion as a conversation piece or for further clarification? Identify the topic and explain why you selected this topic and what you want to talk about

part 2:

Use this research to extend your own learning and sharing what you have learned with the class. As you read, it will help you to note questions that come up for you;  one of them may be useful for this weekly work.  The question you research can be based on statistics that you read about, a historical event that is mentioned in the readings, references to books and materials that are mentioned by the various authors, and so on.  In some weeks, I have intentionally chosen some older readings either as classics or to give you an opportunity to research current perspectives and issues. Number your research section #1-5 so that you don’t miss a step!

1. What is your question? What do you want to learn more about?
2. Why did you choose to research this question? What from the readings, lectures or videos inspired your research topic? (research should always connect to the current topic of study)
3. Help teach classmates by sharing what you learned through your research? What are the main ideas of what you found? (In about 1/2 page, explain what you have learned in your research- entice your classmates to click on your research link and learn more!). Do not simply copy the text from the website or article you find.
4. In one paragraph, explain how your research specifically relates back to this class and the current topic of study besides the fact that the research has to do with anti-bias work?
