Purpose of this website

Who is the JEC?

The Responding to Crisis website offers immediate access to a variety of  resources to help educators effectively teach about different crises and tragedies taking place throughout the world.  This websites provides   response materials so that educators can help their students learn and process difficult events in age appropriate and meaningful ways. 

History of this site

Around 25 years ago,  the JEC developed a brand new response curriculum each time a tragedy occurred. Usually the resource was prepared within a few days. Now, the format is a little bit different. The focus is on vetting and providing strong resources that you can easily adapt for your learners. A special thank you to our summer interns for helping us provide this invaluable website. 
At the cutting edge of educational practice, the Jewish Education Center incubates new innovative programs, consults with educational partners, and provides direct services to the Jewish education system in Cleveland. As the Educational Planning arm of the Jewish Federation of Cleveland, JEC works across the breadth of the Cleveland Jewish Community.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions, comments, or concerns. We value your ideas and feedback, which help us in craft effective response materials. Please contact the JEC  to share your thoughts and contribute to our efforts. 
We look forward to hearing from you!
