II. Establishing a CRGBA-Informed Classroom

This tool supports educators in putting the CRGBA framework into practice in the classroom by fostering reflection on positionality and colonialism’s influence on gender, sexuality and Indigenous communities.

Instructions

First, consider the stated objective outlined in the chart below. Next, consider the questions in the Key Considerations column and use your answers to inform the specific actions you can take to meet the stated objective (list these in the Actions column). Finally, in the Indicators column, list possible markers of success that demonstrate you are meeting the stated objective. If a question does not apply, explain why, and consider to what extent this is influenced by you as an individual and/or by the institution you are affiliated with.

For greater impact, complete this activity with other educators, community members, critical scholars, and learners in your institutional and/or community context. This activity also serves as a valuable evaluation tool to identify any needed changes in the program content, or possible avenues for institutional advocacy. This list is not exhaustive, and educators are encouraged to adapt the activity as necessary to meet their needs.
