Sample Brainstorm B
Issue #1 (Teachers don't do anything about abuse):
  • Make a poster of "things to say" when you see abuse/warning signs. Hang poster in teachers' lounge with their OK.
  • Have a "Teach-In" to educate teachers on warning signs/abuse, etc.
  • Bring a speaker in to talk to whole school. Someone familiar with the issue.
  • Try to change school policy to require teachers to do something when they see harassment. Sometime this already exists, check into it.
  • Form "Anti-Violence Task Force" made up of teachers and students. Meet once a month to talk about policy and issues.
  • Do an awareness campaign on "what the school policy is on sexual harassment."
  • Give all the teachers a quiz on what the school's policy is.
  • IDEA WE PICKED: Making a poster of "Things To Say" for the teachers' lounge.


    Issue #2 (Awareness of abuse/warning signs)
  • Make posters and flyers of warning signs to hang around the school and in the bathrooms, where appropriate.
  • Have an assembly with a speaker from outside the school. Preferably someone who has survived abuse and can really relate to your group.
  • Have an awareness day.
  • Hand out ribbons for people to wear in support of our cause. People love to get free things to wear, even on their backpacks.
  • Make morning announcements for one week that educate people on the warning signs of abuse.
  • IDEA WE PICKED: Making morning announcements.
