Then the facilitators model actual classroom examples demonstrating how they used the protocol: ‘Interrupt, Question, Education, and Echo.' Participants evaluate the responses and consider the strengths and challenges presented. Then teachers share possibly harmful or problematic comments or remarks students might make and work with their colleagues to use the Speak Up guide to draft a possible interruption. The session closes with a role play activity and reflection. Each participant leaves with a pocket guide and at least two go to interruption or question statements for when hurtful comments occur.
