Difficult Conversations
Texto del Guión Gráfico
- Hey Mr. Jones! I just watched a great TedEd talk called How to Teach Your Kids to Talk About Taboo Topics .
- She emphasized that students need the language to talk about difficult topics. When a teacher shuts down such topics, it can create shame around it.
- Oh, interesting! I think teachers are acting protective when they shut down difficult topics.
- It is great to show your students that even adults have room to grow and learn. Teachers can help students to have appropriate conversations.
- That makes sense! How would you approach a topic that you aren't comfortable talking about?
- Start with teaching students to be comfortable with silence. Thinking before your speak is important. This can add patience to a conversation.
- The next is to teach humility. Be comfortable to own that we do not know all the answers. Do not push your opinions on the learning experience.
- A sense of humility is really important. Seeking to understand the other person and their views.
- Wow, I never thought about it like that! Discussing difficult topics takes time. Thinking before your speak may create space in conversations.
- Patience is really important. Reminding yourself that learning about a difficult concept is different for each person. School should be a safe place to ask questions.
- I really enjoyed our chat. I realize my students need the three keys to tough conversations. I am going to teach students to be comfortable with silence, teach humility, and teach patience.
- Those are great! I know your students can learn a lot about each others thinking this way.
