To model that, Rankine-Landers and Joesph had to ask the teachers deep, uncomfortable questions about their lived experiences.

Partners started with a handshake or fist bump. Then, one partner broke away to establish a new point of contact, while the other partner remained in the original position. The process repeated until partners were tangled around each other, any awkwardness forgotten. For some, the result was a floundering waltz, or a choppy yoga routine. “That’s too much, I’m not trying to fall right now,” one woman warned her partner.

Curriculum encourages educators to have their students tie their personal experiences, their own revolutions, to the American Revolution. To model that, Rankine-Landers and Joesph had to ask the teachers deep, uncomfortable questions about their lived experiences.

Partners started with a handshake or fist bump. Then, one partner broke away to establish a new point of contact, while the other partner remained in the original position. The process repeated until partners were tangled around each other, any awkwardness forgotten. For some, the result was a floundering waltz, or a choppy yoga routine. “That’s too much, I’m not trying to fall right now,” one woman warned her partner.

Think of a memory or experience you’ve had, instructors asked, that you’d like to plant in the brain of of our 45th president (the class’ preferred way of referring to Trump). During other exercises, they were asked to examine their memories and definitions of the world, as well as those of their personal relationships: \u003cem>Who are the five people you’re most accountable to?
