Tolerance: Middle school students are learning about diversity through literature
Continued from page 1
Vatne-Bintliff said kids
in that age group have a
sense of justice, which
provides an opening for
instruction.
We start with situations they can relate to
right away like bullying,
and then we start building
to systemic oppression,
she said. They start to
notice how language and
action can oppress people.
A girl today said, Now
that I know this, I can hear
the stereotypes around me
every day.
Once you get that
lens, thats what you look
through.
At the school, VatneBintliff has incorporated
the Teaching Tolerance
Anti-bias Framework into
her curriculum and has
facilitated restorative justice circles since 2003.
She is also serving as a
mentor to other teachers on
the subject, as she works
toward including the framework in a district-wide curriculum.
Fighting prejudice
According to the Wisconsin Department of Public
Instruction, nearly 90 percent of OSD students are
white. Its quite a change
for Vatne-Bintliff, who
used to teach in the much
more racially diverse city
of Minneapolis, but shes
comfortable either way.
I grew up in a tiny town
in North Dakota where
everyone was white, but I
found my way to diversity
through literature that is
what opened my eyes, she
said. My mom said by the
time I was 8, I was fighting
my grandparents about their
racial prejudice I would
leave the dinner table over
what was said.
Sometimes we have
to have those experiences
through text, because were
not able to have it face-toface.
Literature is the perfect
place to teach children
about tolerance, VatneBintliff said, because it
serves as students window into a life they may
choose not to know.
Her students are currently reading Ninth Ward,
about a girl who survived
Hurricane Katrina, and the
stereotypes about an innercity neighborhood. Another
book is about a girl whose
Expertise in

Aneesa Allen, right, talks during a recent restorative justice circle in Oregon Middle School teacher
Amy Vatne-Bintliffs literature class, as, Bailey Jerred, left, looks on.
These are the rules for the restorative justice circles in Amy Vatne-Bintliffs OMS literature class.
Vatne-Bintliffs students
recently worked as a group
to create a lesson to teach
an anti-bias standard to
fourth-graders at Brooklyn
Elementary School. They
used skits, poetry, sharing
circles, games and presentations to share their lessons.
I liked seeing the expression on the fourth-graders
faces when we said something deep, said eighthgrader Dilame Lindmeier.
Valuable mentor
With her growing expertise, Vatne-Bintliff is wellpositioned to mentor other
teachers in the district,
which she does regularly.
Recently, she made a presentation for more than 50
staff members, and this past
year, she introduced OMS
staff to Teaching Tolerances
new anti-bias framework.
Two years ago, she taught
a graduate class for Oregon
teachers on the subject.
As the author of the
schools anti-bias standards, counselors will call
her in if theres a situation
she can help with, and she
works closely with principal Shannon Anderson
when issues arise.
We partner really well,
shes a great advocate,
Vatne-Bintliff said. When
racial harassment situations
have come up Shannon has invited me to meet
with those kids and the kids
who are doing that. We set
a goal based on three antibias standards: How did my
action impact someone else,

Addressing concerns
about committees going
rogue and creating problems for district administrators in recent months, Oregon School Board members
discussed an overhaul of
the committee system Monday night.
Board members spent considerable time talking about
the pros and cons of such
a change, and by the end of
the meeting they seemed to
reach a consensus: Theyll
search for a compromise
that might eliminate some
committees but try to avoid
scrapping the current system
altogether.
The proposal, put forward by district administrators, would replace five
standing committees (policy, human assets, physical assets, financial assets
and vision steering) with a
committee of the whole
that would be attended by
Possible compromises
The board discussed several compromise measures
to address the problems
Krause brought up without
taking drastic measures.
Uphoff suggested recording committee meetings
and establishing committee meetings on a regular
schedule, so people know
well ahead of time when
to attend. He said to prevent committees going off
the range, they could be
given more of an explicit
charge, making clear their
responsibilities and powers.
Those would be more
appropriate ways of
addressing the issues of the
committee function, he
said.
Board member Barb Feeney said its not real productive to talk in a small
committee about issues and
then have the same discussion with the whole board.
She suggested establishing

Open Enrollment Exception Application.
In a roll call vote, the following members
voted yes: Ms. Feeney, Mr. Ramin, Mr. Uphoff, Mr. Zach, Ms. Vogeler, Ms. Maitzen,

1. Teacher Compensation Referendum: The Teacher Compensation Task
Force gave a brief update on the Educator Compensation Model. Mr. Donovan
was present to walk the Board thru the
teacher compensation referendum survey results. A lengthy discussion was
held. The sense from the Board is that
April 2015 is too soon to go to referendum on a new teacher compensation
model; we need more time, committee is
on right track but need to try to get the
cost down and keep educating teachers
and community.

LOST MONEY?
Despite Chinas refusal to approve Syngentas GMO
seed, Syngenta continued to sell its seed to U.S.
corn farmers. When China banned U.S. corn imports,
the price of corn fell dramatically, and corn farmers
across the country lost BILLIONS of dollars.

(Now) I am learning to
lean on people that have
leaned on me. Im learning very much about giving
back, learning about humility each and every day.
Another important step in
her recovery is owning her
mistakes and not trying to
run from them.
Im not going to go anywhere, Meyers said. I
still walk down the streets
of Oregon, and people ask,
Do you need a ride home?
Heres my number. I
learned from family, friends
and colleagues that you can
resurface and you will resurface youre not a complete
loss to society; you can contribute in ways you never
thought you could.
Meyers said since the
incidents, she has been able
to get direction and help
with her depression.
It puts us, at times, in a
dark place where we question what we are doing and
why, (but) Im starting to
come up out of the rollercoaster ride she said. Ive
met some phenomenal people in the last three months
people reaching out to
me, people telling me not to
walk away from education.
I really do hope to God
that nine days in December
2014 does not derail everything from 30 years of just
absolutely having a passion
for education and athletics
and learning and all that
goes along with that.
While Meyers understands she will likely never have a chance to be an
administrator, she is focusing on finding a way to give
back and help young people
and adults with their own
problems with depression
or addiction.
Education is my calling; working with students
is my calling, she said. In
schools, in particular, there
are not enough resources
that we put forward for
alcohol and drug and mental health issues. There are
signs and symptoms out
there for alcoholism and
depression that we do not
account for enough, or we
cascade off to someone else
to solve.
Meyers believes she still
has something to give, and
she is determined to do so.
Our kids deserve and
need people who are real,
who have made mistakes
and who have rebounded
from those mistakes, she
said. If you persevere, you
will move to a more positive
place; you can recover. I just
want to pay it forward.
There is going to be a
silver lining in a very dark
cloud.
