Family Workshop Evening Event - Talking to Children about Identity in a Diverse World
Horace Mann staff will provide parents/caregivers with a chance to reflect on their own understanding of identity (race, religion, culture, gender, family structure, etc.) and then talk about realistic scenarios that may come up with your children. Below are a few scenario examples:
- From parent - "Why does one student get extra time on a test? My child could perform better if he had extra time.”
- 2nd grade to a boy - "You shouldn't wear your hair long, you're a girl.”
- From parent - "How come the schools keep talking about the achievement gap? What about my kid?”
- From student - "When I look around the room I see that my hands are a different color than everyone else's"
