💬 Discussion: My 48-Hour Swap
Welcome to the discussion board! This module's ultimate goal is to move theory into practice. Your 48-Hour Swap is the first step toward dismantling Eurocentrism in your learning space. This is a safe space for professional dialogue. We encourage transparency about the biases you uncovered and the challenges of making the swap. Here are some discussion questions; choose one or more to answer, or share something completely different to discuss the changes you made in your learning space. Choose One or More to Discuss: 1. The Reveal: What was the highest-scoring "0" or "1" item on your audit checklist (e.g., in the Dolls & Figures section or Art Supplies)? Describe the tokenistic example you chose to remove or replace. 2. The Hidden Curriculum: Reviewing the Infographic on Tokenism, which "trap" do you think your classroom fell into most easily (e.g., the Single Brown Doll or the Black History Month Poster)? How did making this swap directly counteract that specific trap? 3. Next Steps: This module focused on the visible environment. Based on your experience with the 48-Hour Swap, what is one non-visible action (e.g., changing how you talk about race, introducing a specific Canadian story, or committing to further professional reading) that you plan to tackle next?
