Rumpelstiltskin understood the power of names. The second lesson in the First Days of School series focuses on building community by recognizing the importance of the relationships among names, identities, and cultures. Learners engage in a "What's in a Name?" gallery walk, watch a PowerPoint presentation, then commit to a step they will take to ensure that "names are always empowering and never limiting in this class."
