Activity: Consider a situation in which your values were questioned
This could have been, for example, a personal experience whereby there was a disagreement (overt or covert) or perhaps when you were in a cultural group that was unfamiliar to you. How did this challenge your own values? How does this help you to unpack the ‘taken for granted’ assumptions you might carry into your teaching?
Transfer your ideas from this exercise on to a piece of A4 paper. You may use coloured pens, textas, paints … use words, or poems … or anything at all that expresses the way you feel about those people and things that matter to you!
