I would like to create a new online format for a relatively old workshop 
activity with which most everyone in on this discussion is familiar.

You know those activities where we list the "pluses" and "challenges" 
regarding any teachable topic? Well, let's imagine this email is a large, 
white piece of flip chart paper. By going thru the three simple steps below, 
we can compile our challenges to addressing "isms" in staff development. For 
example, the challenge might be how to model anti-ism practices, or how to 
address the ism directly, as in a staff development event.

Three Steps:
A. Copy the body of this ENTIRE email message and paste it into a new message. 
(This will keep the electronic "flipchart" paper cleaner than hitting 
"reply.")

B. In 2-3 sentences, succinctly phrase your challenge to addressing "isms" in 
staff development, number it, and add it to the bottom of the existing list of 
challenges.

C. Copy the subject line of this email into the subject line of your new 
message, and send it to the list.


****List Of Challenges****

1. how interested and "open" are teachers, administrators, et al. in having 
their preconceived conventions challenged? Barbara Salice

2. Competing for dollars to fund anti-ism staff development events - Susan 
Joyner

3. how to provide training for teachers to help them help learners and
teachers talk about isms during class while simultaneously learning
skills - Cristine Smith
