Respect Without Bias Worksheet

Read the scenarios carefully. Use respectful language, avoid naming real people, and consider how to respond safely. More than one response may be reasonable for open questions; sample answers are provided.

A school community scenario

At a school planning meeting, students are choosing teams for a community project. One student suggests leaving out a classmate because of their accent. Another student says a classmate who uses a mobility aid will “slow the group down”. In the online planning chat, someone shares a mocking meme about a student’s religious clothing. A few students feel uncomfortable but are unsure what to do. The project needs everyone’s ideas, and the group can ask a trusted staff member for support.

Notice the impact

Answer using the scenario above. Disagreement about an idea is different from unfair treatment based on identity or a personal characteristic.

1.Which action is the clearest example of identity-based exclusion?

Suggesting a classmate be left out because of their accent
Choosing a project topic after a respectful discussion
Asking everyone to share one idea
Dividing tasks according to each person’s interests

2.Select the two actions in the scenario that target a personal characteristic or identity.

Mocking a student’s religious clothing
Assuming a student using a mobility aid cannot contribute
Disagreeing about which project topic to choose
Asking who will record the group’s ideas

3.Explain one likely effect that exclusion or mocking could have on the targeted student and on the group.

Choose a safe response

A useful sequence is: pause, respond, support, and report when needed. Responding does not mean confronting someone if doing so could put you or another person at risk.

4.Put these actions in a safe, helpful order: tell a trusted staff member; take a moment to assess what is happening; check in privately with the student targeted; calmly challenge the unfair comment if it is safe.

5.Match each response step with its example: Pause; Respond; Support; Report. Examples: A. Ask a trusted adult to help address repeated or serious behaviour. B. Take a breath and consider safety. C. Check what the targeted student wants and listen without pressure. D. Say, “That comment is unfair. Let’s include everyone.”

Pause
Respond
Support
Report

6.A student sees the mocking meme in the chat. Give one response they could take that supports the targeted student without spreading the meme further.

7.True or false: Treating people with respect means you must agree with all their opinions.

TrueFalse

8.Complete the idea: Inclusion means noticing barriers and taking steps so people can participate with dignity.

9.Name one right a student should have in this situation and one responsibility a witness has. Explain each briefly.

10.Imagine you are in the project group. Write two sentences you could say to interrupt the unfair assumptions and help the group include everyone’s contributions.

11.Identify one barrier that might make a witness hesitate to act, then suggest a safe way to reduce that barrier.
