Question 04/06

During a discussion about holidays, a facilitator wants to include experiences beyond the majority tradition. Which response best avoids tokenizing?

Ask the only participant known to observe another holiday to explain it to everyone.Invite anyone to share a tradition if they choose, provide researched examples, and allow people to pass.Avoid mentioning cultural traditions because differences may create discomfort.Ask each person to disclose their religious identity before the discussion begins.

Question 05/06

Participants nominate someone who “showed leadership” during a group project. Most nominations go to people who spoke first or presented, even though others organized tasks, resolved disagreements, supported peers, or kept the project moving. The Guide wants to keep the activity while reducing its hidden assumptions. What should they do?

Remind participants that “leadership looks different for everyone” and keep the nomination process the same.Ask participants to nominate someone whose leadership style is different from their own.Clarify several ways leadership may be demonstrated and ask participants to identify a specific behavior or contribution that influenced the group.Allow participants who were quieter during the project to nominate themselves for recognition.

Question 06/06 · Matching

Match each assumption with the revision that makes the activity or expectation more inclusive.

“Good participation means speaking up quickly.”

“Respect means making eye contact when someone is speaking.”

“Everyone should be able to share a personal experience.”

“A strong leader is the person who speaks first and most often.”
