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.
