Responding to Mass Shootings
Mass gun violence has become all too common in America. Many of our students can be impacted by the news or talk about this violence. The Office of Human Relations, Diversity & Equity encourages educators to offer opportunities for dialogue around these challenging topics. Please find some resources below.
Good teaching includes helping students process their thoughts and feelings about the world and creating space for them to bring their full selves to school. This document, Courageous Conversations with Students, provides tools, lesson plans, and practical advice for facilitating dialogues with students about power, privilege, oppression, and resistance. They were adapted by the Office of Human Relations, Diversity & Equity. Click here to view this resource.
For additional resources, please review the Student Health & Human Services site.
