Description: Understanding how to respond to authority figures in different environments is key to building respectful and responsible behavior. This interactive deck, Authority: School and Community, invites learners to explore scenarios that compare appropriate and inappropriate ways of interacting with authority figures across school and community settings. Through 20 detailed, real-life examples using they/them pronouns, students will evaluate behaviors like listening to directions, responding to corrections, and showing respect to teachers, librarians, police officers, and more. Each name appears once in both an appropriate and inappropriate context to reinforce learning through contrast and repetition. Sometimes, it’s hard to know the difference between being assertive and disrespectful. This interactive Boom deck, Talking Back vs. Speaking Up, helps students explore how to express themselves respectfully and confidently without crossing the line into rudeness. With 20 real-life examples using they/them pronouns, learners practice identifying moments where it’s appropriate to advocate for themselves and when it's better to listen, stay calm, or choose a different response. Each character appears twice: once modeling a thoughtful, respectful response and once demonstrating a reaction that could escalate conflict or create tension.
