Facilitating the Ed Journey Exercise

• Your Educational Journey (Hand-Out)
• The workshop begins with an interactive exercise
  Your Educational Journey that helps
  teachers/educators focus on the positive and
  negative messages they received as regards their
  potential to go to college. This information is
  helpful as a way to talk about the similarities
  and differences between their experience and the
  experience of their students and families.
• Group participants break-out into groups of 2-3
  and individually answer the Ed Journey questions
  (for themselves, not for their childthis can
  also be used with parents) and then pair share.
• Group Questions
• Were you the first in your family to go to
  college?
• Did you have an advocate in your family?
  Outside of your family?
• Did you work to pay for school?
• When you were in high school, did you easily
  see yourself as a college student?
• Journey Questions posted up in the room
• Any surprises about your partners Ed Journey?
• What messages do you think your students are
  getting? Are they similar/different to the
  messages you received? How many of you have
  children? What messages are you giving your
  children? How is that message similar of
  different than the ones we give to our students.
