Professor Louise Crowley:

Embedding and normalising the thinking within every school makes it the starting point for what people do. When embedded, it is more difficult to challenge because it is what is expected. Having this type of education ten or 15 years ago or when I was going to school was a no-no. We need to flip that completely so the education is what everybody gets. Then there will be a realisation that it is positive. The feedback from students going home and their having the conversations are in themselves very valuable. As Ms Griffin said, if when talking to one another students have the language and correct information as opposed to the toxic information they may currently be getting, that is when the magic learning happens. We can share what we know and give the students the tools and language, but when they endorse good behaviour, allyship and support for one another, they are suddenly in a much more comfortable environment in which they can demand and receive respect from one another. It is a very mutual arrangement. If we as educators have the platform to give them these tools and the education, we can leave it to them to know better, do better and get better.
