Making Schools Safe: An Anti-Harassment Training Program from the Lesbian & Gay Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union.
Otto, Nancy; Middleton, Jennifer; Freker, Joshua
This kit offers a program designed to help individuals and organizations create effective anti-harassment training programs for schoolteachers and administrators. It can be used by groups wanting to work on harassment problems faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) youth in school. The training includes three parts: an interactive presentation by a student or students, a presentation by an attorney, and a series of exercises led by a local teachers. The fourth key player is the organizer, who finds presenters, deals with the school, and makes the training happen. These materials are divided into four parts: the organizing manual, which explains how to get into schools, create the workshop, and tailor the workshop; the tools, which provide the organizer with tools for every step of the way in putting the program in place (e.g., sample letter, survey, and checklist, questions to guide the presentation, and legal overview for attorneys); the lesson plan, which offers a proposed agenda for the training workshop and a detailed outline with suggested presentations for each segment; and the handouts, which offer supplementary materials for copying and passing out.
