Subject: Official Information request - Conformity Bias NZ Lesson
Planning and Sense Checking
To: OIA/LGOIMA requests at Marlborough Girls&#x27; College
<[6][Marlborough Girls&#x27; College request email]>

Dear Marlborough Girls' College,

Attached is an image that was provided to me by one of the parents who's
own daughter was given this worksheet.. It is my understanding that in
recent weeks the students were learning about Conformity Bias in NAZI
Germany during the holocaust, and that once that section was covered the
class focused on New Zealand based examples, to which myself and others
were identified by our full names and facial images can you please
confirm this

Please explain in writing to me the entire process of how I became part
of educational materials for your students, many of whom took this into
their homes.

Please include the following in your response:

⚠️ full names of, (including titles and organisations) the earliest
originator(s) of the idea of using my name & images as educational
resources.

⚠️ what qualitative process happened prior to these resources being
printed, as to reduce risk of spreading misinformation and avoid legal
fall out.

⚠️ full names of (including titles and organisation) the approving
authority(s) that said that names & images OK to be used in this manner.

⚠️ how many MGC students have been provided this resource

⚠️ what time period has this resource been in existence

⚠️ describe all methods of which this resource was distributed (email,
print, intranet)

⚠️ what were some of the teacher's own 'expected answers' for the
background info box under my name. Lessons always have objective, so it
is reasonable to think that if the lesson went well for a student, they
would have responded as the teacher expected. you get my point.

⚠️ URLs or any other video based resources that were used to educate the
students on conformity bias. (YouTube, Names of Docos)

Please also provide me with FULL digital version of any and all
resources materials where my name or image has been used.

Please also provide me with a digital copy of all resource materials
that fall within the Conformity Bias lesson planning, even if that
resource does not include my name.
