  1. Settling Differences By Nikko, Vanessa, and Aaron A Presentation on Desegregation through Education

  2. At a football game your school and a rival school get into a confrontation. It begins between two of the players but quickly involves the people in the stands. One school is predominantly African-American, the other is predominantly Hispanic. What do you do the next day to address the possible racial tension? The Scenario

  3. The Next Day Finding out what happened, and how to handle it.

  4. First, you as a teacher need to establish what exactly happened. • Were you there? Try and put together a sequence of events. • If you weren’t there you need to get the facts straight from those that were. Students, other teachers, or even the principle. • Who is responsible? Did the confrontation start with students, or were adults, even the coaches, the instigators. • Sometimes “rivalry” is incited by coaches and staff, students are not always responsible for this. • Is it a race issue? • Race isn’t always the culprit, sometimes socioeconomic status has an effect, sometimes the issue is gang-related. Finding out what happened

  5. It’s a matter of race Solutions for cultural segregation and discrimination

  6. Speak to the students in your class directly. • Hold a rally or public event. • Get SPIRIT involved. • Educate the community. A few solutions

  7. Community wide event -school officials, parents, students, community leaders/officials. • Highlight different cultures- performances/music, food, art, etc. • Hand out resources - events, workshops. • Should be held in a neutral location - park, local college, street fair. • Should be planned by the students from both schools - work together to plan the event. • Get the leaders from all groups - captains from sport teams, presidents of different school organizations, "leaders" of different social groups. • Get involvement of students that were actually involved in fight. Hold a Rally or Public Event
