We are excited to welcome our new Club members to the ADL A WORLD OF A DIFFERENCEⓇ Institute Peer Trainer certification program.
Through this program students become certified ADL A WORLD OF A DIFFERENCEⓇ Institute Peer Trainers. The Peer Training Program is built on the knowledge that the most important influences on young people are the attitudes and behaviors of their peers, the Peer Training Program prepares Claire and Emanuel G. Rosenblatt High School students to use the positive power of peer influence to promote respect and civility in DKJA and beyond.
Peer Trainers learn how to effectively respond when they hear racial slurs, name-calling, and put-downs in the hallways, lunchrooms and classrooms of their schools. They also develop the skills to lead interactive discussions and workshops for their peers and younger students.
The A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE Institute Peer Training Program provides Peer Trainers with the training and resources to design and lead interactive programs that promote an environment that is respectful and civil. Their efforts play a key role in creating environments where differences are valued and respected. The peer trainings will be held on:
Sunday September 13th, 2015 from 9am -3pm (please bring your own Kosher lunch)
Sunday September 20th, 2015 from 9am -4pm (please bring your own Kosher lunch)
Sunday September 27th, 2015 from 9am -3:30pm (please bring your own Kosher lunch).
Please note that the 20th is until 4pm and the 27th is 3:30pm.30pm.
All trainings will be held in room 130 in the Rosenblatt High School building.
Today was a day of great joy and pride. I can think of no better way to celebrate the Jewish New Year than with our first of three trainings for this year. The students' attitude and commitment will continue to build our proud No Place for Hate programming at DKJA and other schools in our community. You are the facilitators and the positive trend setters for kindness and Ally behavior at our school and beyond. You create the climate that influences our school culture, to be a place where we all feel welcomed and included.
We want to also thank DKJA parent, Craig Zeuner, for his inspirational speech to the new trainers and continued commitment to making our program a national precedence. We are also grateful for the outstanding ADL A World of Difference facilitators, Stanley Zamora and Tali Ben-David Connell, who generously gave their Sunday to train our 2015 Peer Trainers. Their energy and knowledge facilitated the growth and engagement of the group.
You are an amazing group of student leaders, it is my honor to be your ADL NPFH @ DKJA Club adviser. Shanah Tova!!
