Utah schools are abuzz with the transformative potential of the Dignity Index, a tool designed to ease divisions, decrease violence, and solve problems through constructive dialogue. This session offers a comprehensive review of the Dignity Index and explores practical approaches and strategies for implementing it in school and district settings. The new Youth Versions Index (K-3 and 4-8th grades) will be shared along with applications for these age groups.
Participants will gain access to valuable resources for introducing the Index to students, practice scoring and skill-building with real-life scenarios, and receive a roadmap for launching Students for Dignity clubs in their districts. Ideal for educators, administrators, and anyone working with youth, this session equips you to foster a culture of dignity and collaboration within your school community.
