Growing Beyond Hate: A Toolkit for Incident Response
About the Toolkit
No school is immune to hate incidents, but every educator can be prepared. This toolkit offers immediate, practical strategies to help prevent incidents and respond effectively when they occur. It also includes real world scenarios so you can practice incident response across elementary, middle and high school settings.
The toolkit can be used for professional learning, either to build skills and earn a certificate as an individual or to implement school-wide and create a shared framework for all staff. It is designed to strengthen accountability, support healing and turn difficult moments into opportunities for meaningful growth.
Objectives
This toolkit will prepare you to:
- Identify bias incidents and understand why they require immediate, thoughtful response.
- Examine the P.E.A.C.E. Framework for preventing and responding to school-based incidents.
- Navigate real-world scenarios rooted in antisemitism with empathy and skill, turning challenging moments into opportunities for accountability, healing and growth.
- Leverage ADL's reporting tools, resources and ongoing support for your work.
Length
Approximately 20 minutes. Move at your own pace, pausing and resuming as needed.
