Resources on Confronting White Nationalism in Schools

wmcfarl1
Dear Illinois School Counselor Association Members,

I am pleased to report that Western States Center has added a toolkit train-the-trainer workshop for the spring. The dates are March 5, 6, & 7. You can find the application here, and here is a brief synopsis:

Western States Center’s (WSC) Confronting White Nationalism in Schools toolkit focuses on helping educators, students, administrators, and community members respond to white nationalist and other extremist rhetoric and recruitment. Among other resources, the toolkit offers strategies schools can use to foster a more inclusive culture and scenarios adults can reference when deciding how to respond to young people who express hateful ideas or target other students. This March, WSC will convene a cohort of educators and community members for a “train-the-trainer” event designed to extend the reach of the toolkit into schools and community groups across the country. Participants will join an existing national network of certified toolkit trainers who support one another in sharing this resource widely and learn from each other’s experiences and successes. 

As always, we are in this together! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need support from ISCA!

Sincerely, Kirsten Perry (ISCA President) president@ilschoolcounselor.org
