1. Have participants evaluate their school's human rights climate, i.e. take its "temperature," by completing the survey on-line. It might be appropriate to have participants conduct research into school conditions, using the survey items below, prior to completing the instrument or prior to developing an action plan.

2. Prepare for class discussion by obtaining the summary results of your school and a printout of the responses of each participant. Distribute the responses to participants and have them call out responses to each item. 

3. Discuss the findings from the survey, drawing on the following questions to move from analysis and evaluation to the development of an action plan.
a. In which areas does your school appear to be adhering to or promoting human rights principles?
b. In which areas do there seem to be human rights problems? Which of these are of particular concern to you? Elaborate on the areas of concern, providing examples and identifying patterns in human rights violations.
c. How do you explain the existence of such problematic conditions?
* Do they have race/ethnicity, class, gender, disability, age, or sexual
orientation dimensions?
* Are the issues related to participation in decision-making(who is included and who isn't?)?
* Who benefits and who loses/suffers as a result of the existing human rights violations?
* Other explanations to consider?
d. Have you or any of your fellow community contributed in any way to
the construction and perpetuation of the existing climate? (e.g. by acting in certain ways. by not acting in certain ways---ignoring abuses or not reporting incidents)
e. Were those completing the questionnaire representative of the
population of the school? Would you expect different results from a different group of people? In what ways might another group's responses differ and why? Should these differences be of any concern to you and to the school community?  When determining which human rights concerns need to be addressed and how to address them, how can you be certain to take into account the perspectives and
experiences of different people?
f. What needs to be done to improve the human rights climate in your school? What action(s) can you and your group take to create a more humane and just environment where human rights values are promoted and human rights behaviors practiced?

4. Review questionnaire item #25, stressing the importance of assuming responsibility and acting. Then, as a group brainstorm possible actions the group might take to improve the human rights situation? Decide on a short list of options for action. Thoroughly debate and discuss the short list before any decision regarding actions to be taken.

5. Based on the group discussion, choose items for action, and develop an action plan, identifying goals, strategies, and responsibilities.
