In2Out Questions: Personalization Cards for Educators and Their Students - With Hard Plastic Case

Protocols (structured dialogues) help us reach a goal in limited time. Equity-centered protocols support us to “hold space” for uncomfortable discourse related to issues traditionally considered unspeakable in a given context. The In2Out process is an equity-centered protocol that helps to facilitate transformation from the “inside-out”. The protocol develops deep and provocative discourse by scaffolding both structure and content from that of engaging in individual or personal work (In), to making and sharing meaning with another (2), to considering larger issues with a community (Out).

Race Cards

Provocations, Perspectives & Prompts For Healing & Reflective Discourse

Playing THE Race Card: The term, gaining popularity in the 1980’s & used more often in the USA than other countries is used to suggest that the subject of race is introduced to gain a strategic advantage – in particular for one’s own race.  When has “the race card” been “played” on – or by you?

True social justice calls for healing. Healing from racial injustice requires courageous reflection & discourse.  These cards offer prompts, perspectives & provocations to begin such discourse (in racial affinity & across racial difference).  These cards are not a comprehensive study of race. Continuous & rigorous study & reflection is necessary for each of us.  While they are intended to allow such discourse to be informed, they also are meant to invite individuals to engage in additional, focused research to inform additional discourse.

Probing Questions to Transform Your Practice

An important tool in changing our discourse within schools, we push school communities to ask probing questions steeped in Discourse 2 (or discourse that opens up space for ambiguity and change to be parts of a purposeful structure, discourse that tends to be about uncomfortable, unequal, ineffective, prejudicial conditions and relationships in schools).  Such discourse and questions are counter to what school cultures traditionally reinforce, so practice is needed.  Use these cards to support such practice – within structured protocols that ask for probing questions or just as community builders embedded randomly or thematically within collaborations.

Advisory 101: Ideas to Design and Improve Your Advisory Program

Developed around SF-CESS’ core components of an effective Advisory program (see Aces), these cards are not lesson plans, but rather a starting list of scaffolds to help you collaborate, plan and teach for personalization and excellence.  The cards are organized by suit:

• Hearts - Family & Community Building:  Personalization and relationships are critical conditions for removing barriers to learning, yet rarely do schools use time or strategies to prioritize this work.  Relationship building with and between Advisees and their families is a core component of Advisory.

• Clubs - Leading for Equity:  One of the most effective ways to achieve equity is to empower our youth to be agents of change – advocates and allies for themselves and others.  Advisory is a perfect space to develop this type of youth leadership.

• Spades - Academic Advocacy & Post Graduation Success:  The primary purpose of Advisory is personalization and support... to accelerate academic success.  Advisees should come to associate Advisory and their Advisors with rigorous support - unanxious high expectations.  

• Diamonds - Essential Class & Design:  Each school, based on its mission and community, has unique expectations and priorities (i.e. ESLRs, portfolios, exhibitions) that are not always explicitly taught.  Advisory is a place to support students to excel in these expectations.
