We know that it might be daunting to have conversations in your classroom about sensitive issues so we created this resource to help.
It gives guidance on how to handle them with confidence, including:
- Ensuring all important perspectives are fairly represented, though some arguments might need more exploration, more time, or more challenge
- Championing facts and challenging misinformation
- Considering informing parents
- Being comfortable without an answer for everything
How to use this resource:
- Read this ahead of Topical Talk lessons
- Share with colleagues so that there is consistency around how you approach sensitive conversations
- Share with parents/guardians to help build trust and transparency, and to help support conversations they might have at home
