Dear John,
As educators, you’re often on the frontlines of confronting and building resilience against harmful extremist ideas targeted to young people. Recognizing and responding to the signs of youth radicalization can be challenging, but new resources from our colleagues at the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project can help.
SPLC has partnered again with the Polarization and Extremism Research Innovation Lab (PERIL) at American University to provide new resources for educators, parents, caregivers and other adults who work with young people. This new supplement for educators offers classroom strategies for recognizing and preventing radicalization, intervening to support vulnerable students and responding when incidents occur.
The supplement for educators is just one of the expanded resources complementing A Parents & Caregivers Guide to Online Radicalization. In this guide, educators, parents, caregivers, coaches, counselors and others can find information about warning signs of radicalization, language and ideologies to be aware of and guidance on best practices when approaching such topics.
We hope you find these critical resources helpful and that you’ll share them with other adults working alongside youth as well.
Thanks for all you do for students.
Jalaya Liles Dunn
Director, Learning for Justice
