Everyone in the class shares what they needed
to feel respected.
You listen, ask questions,
and help make sense of the stories.
This activity guides you through the first step of the Fairness Checklist: understanding people’s needs. You hear each student explain what they needed to feel safe, included, or respected. You choose which question to ask them next, and you see how different approaches change what they share. As you go, notice how open, guarded or defensive responses reveal the needs beneath the surface.
