Promising Practices Resources
Our resources support our Promising Practices Framework and include something for every educator. Whether you're a humane educator, GBV educator, teacher, or community champion - welcome to our resources!
Promising Practices Framework
The Promising Practices Framework has been designed to guide educators as they either weave concepts of ending gender-based violence into their existing humane education program or utilize the framework to design a new program to respond to their community's needs.
