These should not be avoided \u2013 if done right. <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1ibSQze3L6lzw2_9rKEgDU5DxOWBPBBvw\/view\">Here is a very helpful checklist<\/a> for a teacher to consider. (All steps are not required, but are rather meant to be a support when planning, conducting, and reflecting on teaching\/dialogue related to equity and anti-racism.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To set the stage for controversial conversations to be productive and not reactionary or isolated, the classroom climate must be developed intentionally over time\u2013our LEAD Cohort\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/bend.k12.or.us\/bls-resources-for-equity\/home\">website<\/a> has tools for steadily building a climate of equity dialogue. We also have district Administrative Regulation (GBG-AR) regarding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bend.k12.or.us\/application\/files\/6814\/5288\/1452\/GBG-AR.pdf\">Staff Participation in Political Activities<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019d like to highlight the third and fourth paragraphs. In essence, I interpret these as saying that teachers can talk about politics in their classroom, but the keys are to make sure both sides of the issue\/topic are presented\/represented, and that the teacher\u2019s own viewpoints need to be represented as personal and not that of an official district stance. Finally, this is a reminder to be aware of this <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1Pin7i09c2_cjwVu5vb0vSyPd7OHa-b0g\/view?usp=sharing\">BLS Election Guidance<\/a> which was sent out earlier this fall.
