(2011). iMinds: A Health Literacy Resource. G6Module, p.5. www.aeprogram.com 6 © 2015 Alcohol Education Resources Dealing with Sensitive Topics By their very nature, discussions that involve human behaviour, substance use and mental health are bound to include controversy. Some teachers may view the potential for controversy as unattractive or overwhelming. They may worry about being asked questions they do not have answers for. But the main role of a teacher is not to provide answers – it is to create a context of inquiry. By validating all students’ inquiries and providing them with sources of information, teachers can encourage young people in their charge to become active and thinking beings. iMinds out of British Columbia (Douglas, Bodner, & Reist, 2011, p. 3) suggest the following basic guidelines to follow: . Stay neutral and acknowledge all contributions in an unbiased but questioning manner (by showing that you respect all students regardless of their opinions, your students will do the same) . Insist on a non-hostile classroom environment where students respond to ideas and not the individuals presenting those ideas (make it clear from the start that everyone must be open to listening and considering views that may be different from their own) . Encourage all students to participate in discussions but avoid forcing anyone to contribute when they are clearly reluctant (ensure all students know their feelings and opinions are important and will be respected) . Keep discussions moving in a positive direction by questioning or posing hypothetical situations that encourage deeper thinking about the topic . Understand that consensus is not necessary on issues, and that a lack of consensus is in fact a better reflection of “real life” outside
