Activities—Function Or Filler?

As instructors, we are aware that our students bring with them a range of preferred learning

styles. We also know that while most people do not learn best by ―chalk and talk,‖ many

instructors still rely on this teaching approach. Finally, we additionally know that every time that

an additional ―sense‖ is added to the learning process, the percentage of retained information will

likely increase. Although well-designed, well-timed, and well-executed activities can effectively

address the above, the use of activities, including icebreakers, is often not utilized by instructors

as fully as possible. I strongly advise you to avoid using icebreakers and other activities as

―fillers.‖ Activities not only offer variety to the instructional process—breaking up information

conveyed via lectures and other more traditional teaching approaches—they also offer students a

shared springboard. More specifically, there is tremendous value in having students experience

an activity together and then compare, contrast, and process their shared and differing individual

experiences, perceptions, and ―take-aways.‖ (Refer to Appendix VI for additional information

about icebreakers.)

Included in this Instructor’s Manual (IM) is an icebreaker, entitled ―The Mistreated Giant‖

(Appendix II)—my rewrite of the fairy tale ―Jack and the Beanstalk‖ to include issues related to

oppression, power, and perspective, as well as to provide the necessary ―right-left‖ element of

this icebreaker. This activity has allowed me to get a feel for and address the students’ expressed

goals and concerns at the beginning of the course, facilitate class cohesiveness and name recall

and has been an effective springboard for introducing some of the basic components of

Multicultural Counseling and Therapy.



Go-Rounds

Students and instructors will likely find Go-Rounds to be a useful processing, assessment, and

instructional course tool. Go-Rounds take place at the beginning of each class, starting with



the second class meeting. In a Go-Round, each student individually verbally shares their primary

take-away from the previous class and/or assignment(s); students can also share something that

has transpired during the intervening week that is not directly related to the readings,

assignments, or what transpired in class, but is still related to the area of Multicultural

Counseling and Therapy. Consistent with the Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling

Competencies (MSJCC) ―Action‖ component, I also use this time to identify, and give kudos for,

instances of student ―praxis,‖ where course content/discussion has led to critical reflection and

action. An example of student praxis was when a student, who was employed as a mental health

worker at a nationally acclaimed psychiatric hospital, successfully convinced her department to

purchase multicultural crayons for the children in their pediatric unit.

I named this class opener ―Go Round‖ because students literally go around the circle sharing one

thing that they remember, took away, had an insight about, were disturbed about, thought more

about, and so on, related to our most recent class/assignments. By sharing information in this

way, all students have an opportunity to speak—the stage is theirs—and to engage in active

listening. It also increases student openness to and curiosity about the narratives and experiences

of others, facilitates student ―ownership‖ of the course and its content and increases cultural

humility. It additionally helps to quickly bring students back to what took place during the

preceding week so that we can efficiently move into the theme of the current class. Finally, as

the instructor, I use the Go-Round as an opportunity to highlight, reinforce, clarify, and

supplement what has been said.



Ground Rules

It is not unusual for students to have concerns, especially at the beginning of this particular

course, about what might take place in class. Examples of such concerns are that the student may

say or do the ―wrong‖ thing, discover that they are ―prejudiced,‖ and/or may be misinterpreted

by others. The collective anxiety is often palpable. While some discomfort and ―dissonance‖ is

an important component of constructive change in this area, excessive anxiety or concern can

have the opposite effect.

I have found it critical to collaboratively develop a set of ―ground rules‖ for the course, during

the first course meeting. These rules help to create a collectively agreed-upon



environment in which authentic, challenging, respectful, and ―safe‖ dialogue can take place. The

rules help identify and address student concerns, as well as increase the likelihood that student—

and instructor—goals for the course will be met. This activity also provides an additional vehicle

for instruction.

I conduct this activity using an acronym—R-E-S-P-E-C-T—which not only conveys an

important element of the course, and Multicultural Counseling and Therapy, as well, but also

provides letters that will cover most of the concerns, wishes, and goals that students are likely to

have (see Appendix I).

―If It’s Unmentionable, It’s Unmanageable‖: Handling Challenging Situations

The Judge Baker Good Grief Program, in Boston, Massachusetts, embraces the following

concept: ―If it’s unmentionable, it’s unmanageable.‖ I encourage you—my fellow course

instructors—to adopt this as one of your guiding principles. It should come as no surprise that a

course that focuses on a topic that continues to be such an increasingly vitriolic and loaded one

for our country, would be expected to result in challenging, oftentimes uncomfortable

conversations and situations inside—and possibly also outside—of the classroom. I strongly

believe that if students cannot have these difficult discussions in a ―controlled‖ and emotionally

―safe‖ class setting, then where can such discussions take place? I am not suggesting that

students should be coddled or overprotected. Rather, for such discussions to become maximally

meaningful and transformative, the 400-pound gorilla must be ―named.‖ We do our students (and

their future clients) a disservice, to do otherwise. As instructors, we become important classroom

models of effective ways to engage in this naming, claiming, and transformation process. By

exhibiting constructive ways to discuss emotionally charged issues in a non-defensive way, we

encourage students to courageously own, examine, and alter their beliefs, feelings, worldviews,

and issues that would likely interfere with their effectiveness as a multicultural counselor and

embracer of social justice. It is through this naming, claiming, and ―taking students where

they’re at‖ process, that the ―unmentionable‖ can lose its powerful often paralyzing hold on

students and real student change can occur.



While many of such challenging situations/conversations are predictable and are built into the

structure of the course, it has been my experience that some of the most important in- class
