Chapter 6: Social Context of Schools

I created a contract that is an example of what I hope my students would create as part of the class activity that I want to do with my students to raise awareness of the diversity in each of us.



Our Social Contract
We have made a commitment to treat each other equally without negativity toward
any social group.
We will not call people names that are derogatory, but instead will speak kindly to
one another.
Each person will be treated with acceptance and understanding.
We will seek to encourage each other with words and comments that are uplifting to
the person.
We will not characterize any one social group as better or lesser than another.
All people will be treated with respect and recognized as individuals.
We will recognize people’s strengths and not associate them solely with their social
group.
In everything that is done and said, we will value each other.
