Key Features
57-minute DVD training program comes with a facilitator's guide; additional facilitator's guides are available for $49.95 in print format
Join a diversity training session using clips from Jane Elliott's previous documentaries and a detailed Facilitator's Guide written by Jane Elliott. Running time: 57 minutes
In 1968, in response to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a third grade teacher, Ms. Jane Elliott, in all-white, all-Christian, Riceville, Iowa, involved her students in an exercise in discrimination based on eye color.
Over a dozen films have been made of Ms. Elliott conducting the exercise. In response to requests from diversity trainers, Ms. Elliott has now provided us with a compilation DVD of some compelling moments from those films. Seeing and discussing these clips can help us to recognize some of the issues surrounding the "--isms" with which we all live. It may also help us to realize how we as human beings react when we are treated unfairly on the basis of physical characteristics over which we have no control. The use of the material can help to increase our awareness of the effects of racism, sexism, ageism, able-ism, homophobia, ethnocentricity, and bigotry in general.
Jane Elliott has written a detailed accompanying study guide which refutes the stereotypical remarks that are made in some diversity training classes. This material is appropriate for diversity training in junior and senior high schools, colleges, corporations, military groups and civic organizations.
Note: The pricing reflected for this program IS the price for educational and governmental agencies. The only other discount for this program would be for volume (multiple copy) discounts.
"Jane Elliott captures the attention of people of all different backgrounds. Her powerful and captivating work can hit a nerve!"
