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. Operating as a change agent (agency) in a prevailing political climate that is intensely conservative. 4. Allocating time for staff development in an already jammed-packed schedule. Deborah W.
