Lesson Plan
Walk in Their Shoes Lesson Plan
Enable a small group of students to share personal experiences of being bullied, collaboratively analyze exclusionary language toward peers of color, and co-create an empathy-driven project.
Group dialogue builds collective understanding, leverages peer support for perspective-taking, and strengthens students’ ability to notice and challenge harmful language together.
