Thinking about Alignment

Divide into pairs.

One will take the position of a teacher, one of student.

Teacher:

You are a teacher in your school.

What changes would you most like to see in your school?

Student:

You are a student in your school.

What changes would you most like to see in your school?

Gather as a group and share responses with the class.

Discussion Questions:

  • Brainstorm about other perspectives to consider. Who else has a stake in your school? What might these other individuals want for the school?
  • Are these goals in conflict with one another? Why or why not?
  • Taking these alternative perspectives into account, how might you best go about achieving your goals as a student?
