From Gorski: 

"It is always important when activities call for participants to share their own stories and make themselves vulnerable to remind the group about active listening. Consider starting the activity by sharing your own set of stories to ease the tension.

This activity provides a perfect opportunity to challenge teachers to reexamine their own teaching practices. Challenge them to think about their own teaching as they engage in this activity and hear each other's stories. You might even reframe this activity to have teachers consider ways in which they unintentionally realized they were alienating or excluding one or more students."
