Classrooms are often the first settings in which students learn what it means to be civically engaged; and when students choose to use demonstrations and protests as a tool for civic engagement, school buildings, grounds, and communities are often selected as the setting. While demonstrations and protests (and the themes and events that prompted them) can cause high levels of emotion, including fear and anxiety, there are many steps education agencies can take to help students, staff, and the whole school community process the event; express their feelings; and strengthen coping skills and resilience under the guidance and care of the adults, educators, administrators, and partners who support them every day. Ultimately, finding constructive ways to debrief and discuss these types of events and the issues surrounding them supports a positive school climate in which students and staff feel safe to express their feelings and perspectives, and creates learning opportunities around real-world events. This fact sheet focuses on incorporating plans to respond to student demonstrations in school emergency operations plans (EOPs) and considering key considerations in the planning process; additional resources are provided, as well.
