On the large post-it, draw an image that represents your students in the center.
Give your student a name. 10

MAKING IDENTITY CENTRAL
The purpose is to help students better understand:• Who they are• How outside forces influence how they identify
• The impact of identity in their life• That they can define their own identity• That they are capable of GREAT things• Creating solidarity around common goals/needs
15
MAKING IDENTITY CENTRAL
Some intentional practices that we can use include:• Activities, games, and lessons to encourage positive
self identity • Activities to help students identify the influences that
impact how they see themselves• Setting rules and agreements for students and staff that
demystifies stereotypes or negative behavior towards different identities
• Student identities are CELEBRATED16
MAKING IDENTITY CENTRAL
…practices continued…
• Program provides ample & varied opportunities for self- expression
• Reading materials are carefully selected to reflect the languages, cultures and identities of youth in program
• Decor, posters, signs, artwork, etc. celebrate the identities , languages, cultures and age of students in program
• Students and families are connected with community organizations and resources
17
MAKING IDENTITY CENTRAL
By helping students build a positive self-identity, we hope to help them:• Develop pride and connectedness regarding their identity• Increase awareness of how societal, political, community
forces & peer relationships influence their own identities• Feel they are a part of something meaningful and
productive• Identify and build solidarity with others who share
common struggles and have common interests
