Onsite Programs
With an increasing awareness of diversity issues, educational
institutions cannot afford to neglect discussion about intolerance,
violence and sexual harassment. They must engage themselves
in efforts to educate themselves so they can avoid these problems.
ICP can address these needs at every level. ICP offers a variety
of training opportunities for educators and school staff. ICP
has worked with not only teachers and administrators but also
bus drivers, secretaries, cafeteria workers and custodians.
ICP does not offer off the shelf training. Ideally ICP likes
to offer consultation and training. We want to tailor our programs
to the needs of our clients.
ICP has worked intensively with Susquehanna Township, Susquenita,
Eastern York, Northern York and Dover on Safe Schools initiatives
funded by the PA Dept. of Education. These year-long projects
provided school personnel and parent with conflict resolution
and cultural diversity programs that form a foundation for
reduction of school-based conflict and violence.
ICP will assist individual schools and school districts who
seek to address cultural diversity and/or conflict resolution.
Often this work involves the following: needs assessments,
conducting focus groups, grant writing assistance, strategic
planning, training to faculty and students, evaluation measures
and follow-up visits to the district. The foundation of our
Training for Administrators, Teachers
and Staff are Improving Classroom Culture: Cultural Diversity,
Conflict and Sexual Harassment in K-12 Classrooms, Conflict
Resolution, Cultural Diversity, and Multi-Cultural Materials.
Faculty and staff are not the only individuals that must
take part in the effort to effectively find solutions to the
problems of intolerance, ineffective conflict resolution,
and sexual harassment. Parents
and Students are also important
part of the team. ICP can work with School Districts to integrate
these players into the effort to create a safer and more welcoming
environment for all.
