I appreciated the lesson on always stopping to listen and the utilization of real scenarios from our institution. I would appreciate more opportunities to practice bystander training in person. I also think it's important to recognize that racism operates in ways that go well beyond interpersonal dynamics/microaggressions and requires structural change and ongoing institutional commitment.

I agree that it would be great if in person practice of these scenarios were available. It would be more beneficial to practice taking these actions.

Everyone has the right to be treated with dignity and respect. Listening carefully and giving access to resources when needed is only part of making things equal.

Scenarios very well done.  Need to practice speaking up in real time.

I appreciate inclusion of specific examples that we continue to see play out. I felt like the acknowledgement that bilingual staff/providers are given additional translation burden is better than in previous training modules.

The multiple scenarios across role groups was a great demonstration of the many ways racism can impact individuals and groups in the workplace.

I agree. I think the scenarios and set up of the program was effective in terms of understanding multiple perspectives and interactions in the workplace as they relate to racism. This program emphasized the importance of recognizing the problem, learning, and taking action.

Scenario based learning is more effective and easier to relate to than reading long paragraphs.  We are a visual society so watching and listening to the presented scenarios was very impactful.  I agree with the need to practice interactions and responses to different situations in order to become more comfortable addressing these issues in real life.

Linda Riley replied on

Rose Klein replied on

I agree with Linda. The scenarios were very helpful and I liked that you were able to "play-out" different situations. Since they were real life scenarios it was interesting to select one of the options that you see in the work place more frequently and good you are able to go back and see how a different approach could be more effective.

Danielle Watson replied on

I agree, I thought the scenario based learning was much more engaging than just single speaker for a specific amount of time. I also think the module provided us with real life examples and how to identify them.

Danielle Watson replied on

Erin Foley replied on

Also agree, scenario based also triggers what you have learned in past when it happens in real time.

Almas Tamouni replied on

I agree that scenario very helpfull

Kristi Emerson replied on

I also agree with Linda. We need to educate in instances of racism, whether it's recognized or not. Bringing attention to the ways in which we can practice inclusion is a helpful tool.
