Tools for this Unit:

“This is Why This Hurts” Activity and Share-out

This activity is a climactic moment for all students and faculty involved.  It is carefully planned, implemented and scaffolded based specifically on the fact that we are an institution that has several years of experience with staff, faculty, students and community partners in using restorative practices.  Students will reflect on a moment in their life in which something someone said, or did hurt to their feelings in any multitude of ways.  The responses for this exercise will be based upon racial or cultural significance, including religious and gender biases.
