Shared Governance - Strategies for Engaging the Community in Tough School Boa...Dottie Schindlinger
From our turbulent political landscape, to rapidly changing demographics, to an unclear future for public school funding – there may not ever have been a more challenging time to serve on a school board. Today school boards often face tough decisions that are certain to evoke strong reactions from the broader community. If done poorly, these tough decisions can harm the community’s trust in the school board. Taking the approach of “shared governance” can have the opposite effect, creating a culture of mutual respect and engendering trust.
Join us for an interactive discussion on “shared governance” as a panel of veteran school board leaders share:
- How to actively involve the community in difficult decisions without it becoming a free-for-all”
- What role technology plays in helping you create transparency for the board’s work
- How to avoid resistance from other board members and/or community members to the idea of community engagement in board decisions
- Practical strategies for taking a more “shared governance” approach.

The numbers of displaced children, refugee children, and children living without access to education in the Lake Chad Region are staggering. Violence in the region has closed 1,000 schools, and educational opportunities for 3.5 million children are at risk.
To put these astounding numbers into context, 3.5 million is about the number of people that live in Connecticut today, and it’s the total population of Uruguay.
One of those 3.5 million children is Ibrahim Mahamadou. Ibrahim could be your son, or your nephew, or your cousin. Bright-eyed and energetic, Ibrahim is seven now. When he arrived in the Dar es Salam Refugee Camp in Chad, it was the first time he’d ever attended school in his life.
“I like going to school because I make a lot of friends. We learn how to read, to write and to count. We play and we get lots of presents too,” said Ibrahim.
With support from a broad international coalition and the Government of Chad, Education Cannot Wait, a newly created global fund for education in crisis, has already reached over 150,000 children like Ibrahim in Chad. This includes 69,000 girls. In the neighboring Central
African Republic, the Fund has reached some 65,000 children, including 31,802 girls, and a newly announced US$2.5 million grant will reach some 194,000 displaced children in Nigeria, 52 per cent of whom are girls.

There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
2. A Word from the CEO
Gree�ngs,
It is my great privilege to begin my eighth year as the head of El HaLev. Through the vital work done at El HaLev in 2017, we took
a step towards a safer world.
In recent years and especially in the past few months, sexual a�acks, sexual harassment, the viola�on of personal boundaries, and
exploita�on of power have been the focus of public discussion. The #metoo movement uncovered a global problem which transcends
borders. As in every year, in 2017 we addressed violence against women, youth, girls, boys, and persons with special needs by
developing and implemen�ng a comprehensive variety of empowerment self-defense programs. We did so while emphasizing the
importance of alloca�ng resources for the preven�on of violence, and not only for rehabilita�on once damage is done.
With all my heart, I believe that violence preven�on programs can transform society and create a safer community for ourselves
and our children, and it is our duty as a society is to provide the tools to meet the challenges of life. Just as the educa�on system
teaches children to cross the street with cau�on, we believe that teaching empowerment self-defense to every boy and girl is an
essen�al and inseparable part of our children’s educa�on.
This vision could be fulfilled by implemen�ng our programs in all schools, offering informa�ve ac�vi�es, conduc�ng research,
establishing connec�ons with the government, changing public policy, and building an interna�onal and accessible body of
knowledge.
Undoubtedly, we have a long way to go before we fulfill the vision of El HaLev to create a safer world. In the mean�me, our
incredible progress fills me with pride. As 2017 comes to an end, I am pleased to share the outstanding achievements of El HaLev,
made possible thanks to our devoted office staff and instructors, who work relentlessly to advance our vision of sustainable social
change, and to our loyal donors, without whom we would not be able to do nearly as much as we do.
May we have a successful year.

4. Who are we?
Founded in 2003, El HaLev was created to empower girls and women who wish to engage in the
mar�al arts, and to remove the obstacles they encounter, with the goal of crea�ng a social
environment of equal opportunity. The effort to make training accessible to women created a
demand for self-defense classes for women and girls. This led to an expansion of El HaLev’s
original goals to include a na�on-wide project for minimizing physical, sexual, emo�onal, and
financial violence towards children, youth, women, people with disabili�es, and the elderly.
Today, El HaLev works with hundreds of organiza�ons, municipali�es, firms, founda�ons, and
educa�onal, health, and welfare ins�tu�ons, seeking to play a part in the crea�on of a society
that respects the right of every person to live with freedom and safety.

Beit El HaLev is the largest and most innova�ve visitor’s center of its kind in the realm of
violence preven�on, used by El HaLev to fulfill its vision of building safe communi�es.
This healing, strengthening, and empowering safe zone host individuals and local groups as
well as groups from all over Israel and abroad for seminars, workshops, team-building,
professional development, and classes.
The special atmosphere at Beit El HaLev touches the hearts of those who visit and the
greatest reward is to see women who have stepped into their power.

Educa�onal Programs in Partnership with Ins�tu�ons
and Schools
El HaLev has constructed programs for self-defense and life skills from an educa�onal point of view,
based on the belief that every society must provide its children with one of the most essen�al tools of all:
the skill to prevent violent situa�ons, sexual assault, bullying, and manage social pressure.
The programs have been approved by the Ministry of Educa�on and are suitable for the school
framework. Teaching these skills is a lengthy process that should be an inseparable part of our children’s
educa�onal curriculum.
The ultra-orthodox branch
El HaLev established the branch in the beginning of 2017 to meet the needs of the ultra-orthodox
sector accurately. Ultra-orthodox themselves, the instructors of this branch are fluent in the language and
the culture of their students and are carefully guided and trained to provide high-quality professional
content and respect the ultra-orthodox way of life, without compromising the nature of their message.
The branch collaborated successfully with the Jerusalem Municipality Division for Sports for the
ultra-orthodox sector, corresponding branches of the municipal community centers, and the Jerusalem
Associa�on for the Preven�on of Drugs and Alcohol Abuse. Through these collabora�ons, El HaLev
provided classes for young women at risk, as well as adolescents, women, and children in ultra-orthodox
neighborhoods. Classes were also given to female seminar students outside Jerusalem, in Modiin Ilit and
to Habad female high school students in Rehovot. In 2017, 370 children, youth, and women par�cipated
in the programs of our ultra-orthodox branch.

New programs were created, geared specifically toward therapists on the staff of educa�onal ins�tu�ons,
with the goal of giving them new and groundbreaking tools to use in the context of their every-day work.
Collabora�on with educa�onal therapists is taking place in two areas:
Workshops which are designed to strengthen the self-confidence of the therapists and provide them
with an array of simple and effec�ve tools for dealing with professional challenges that can arise with
pa�ents: threats, boundary crossing, and verbal or physical violence.
Collabora�on with the educa�onal psychologist staff of groups of students who take part in similar
workshops, to fit the content of the workshop to the unique needs of the group. The deep knowledge
that these staff members have of the group, as well as their exis�ng ability to help the group process
and internalize new things, lends greatly to the efficiency of the workshop.
11. The Educa�onal Con�nuum
We believe that learning self-defense skills is an ongoing process that accompanies us and our children un�l they become
adults. The programs are tailored to each age and its unique a�ributes, and designed in layers, so that every program adds
knowledge and tools to the previous one, to achieve the best results!

Empowerment Programs for At-risk Groups
A substan�al por�on of our resources is invested in at-risk groups: children and adolescents, vic�ms
of domes�c violence, physically and mentally disabled persons, people with emo�onal and behavior
disorders, and others.
In many cases, El HaLev programs provide a significant breakthrough in the therapeu�c process of
at-risk groups, since they allow them to experience their body as a source of power, health, and vitality
once again. They also acknowledge every person’s right to maintain his or her boundaries and safety.
These workshops aim to help the par�cipants retrieve control over their personal space and give them
tools to make beneficial decisions.
The programs are based on decades of research and development, conducted in the USA and Europe
and tailored to Israeli society and to the specific needs of each group.

thank you
le�ers:
“The instructor led the workshop just wonderfully, with sensitivity, humor, charisma, and plenty
of experience and knowledge, and managed to get the young women to cooperate. The
workshop is very important since these young women face distressing, at-risk situations
and, very conspicuously, they lack confidence and a sense of self-worth. Thanks to the
workshop, the young women found their physical strength, and most importantly, their
mental strength to take care of themselves, set boundaries, and mainly reinforce their
self-confidence.”

Whenever you schedule an El HaLev ac�vity in your vicinity, you are making a social investment. This is
a direct contribu�on towards strengthening weakened popula�ons in every sector of Israeli society and
towards the occupa�onal empowerment of female staff of instructors. Together, we work toward achieving
equal opportuni�es for all genders.

person an opportunity to discover his or her internal power and abili�es by using simple and effec�ve

“I am pleased to write that the workshop was everything I expected, and more! At first, the girls felt
very awkward, but they immediately found they have great chemistry with the instructor. They
opened up and shared their personal experiences and their instructor was like a juggler on a
high rope, balancing real life stories on the one hand, without letting fear in, on the other.
She was patient and allowed the girls to express themselves and address their anxiety and
internal debates. The girls left the workshop happy. Later, in our conversations, I heard
that they really internalized the messages.
The discourse made them aware of the subject and what they had experienced opened their
eyes. In this brief time, I already heard their language changing. I have no doubt that the
workshop gave them a full, diverse, and accessible toolbox. This workshop is a must!”

Mar�al Arts Classes
El HaLev was originally founded for women who wanted to prac�ce mar�al arts professionally, as
trainees and instructors. This percep�on expanded in the last 15 years, and today El HaLev offers various
mar�al arts classes for girls and women.
As part of our gender-educa�on vision, we believe it is important that girls experience the beneficial
influence of mar�al arts on their daily life: mutual respect, striving for excellence, a healthy connec�on to
their bodies, and the ability to persevere and overcome challenges. They learn how to find their inner
powers and increase their awareness, sensi�vity, and ability to listen to themselves and to others. Mar�al
arts training especially influences young women, since it promotes a posi�ve body image, self-confidence,
and a sense of capability. Women who train in mar�al arts discover internal and external power, a link
between their bodies and souls, and the benefits of maintaining a healthy mental and physical lifestyle.
All our instructors are female – all professional, experienced, and dedicated, and the par�cipants need
no prior experience or special physical fitness. The classes are accessible to persons with special needs,
whether physical or mental, because we strive to treat the disabled as equals, faithful to the spirit of
mar�al arts where all are welcome.

Instructor’s Training Academy
In September of 2012 El HaLev was recognized by the Ministry of Culture and Sport as an authorized
school for training mar�al arts instructors, with the power to cer�fy its students to teach self-defense.
The school has iden�fied increasing occupa�onal empowerment for women as one of its main goals, and
is characterized by its flexibility and the accommoda�ons it makes for women’s needs, par�cularly
mothers. We are in the midst of a mul�-phase project, which includes recrui�ng and training women
from all over the country who prac�ce the mar�al arts, with a special subsidy for women from
disadvantaged areas. This is the only program of its type in Israel; par�cipants are trained to become
empowerment self-defense instructors while comple�ng a journey of personal and professional growth.
Par�cipants develop crucial skills such as lesson planning, interpersonal communica�on, mo�va�on,
working with different audiences, leadership skills, etc.
We are currently running a training program with sixteen commi�ed women from all across the
country are taking part, many of them with the help of subsidies and/or funds from the army or sherut
leumi. Once they have completed the course, the woman will join the El HaLev instruc�onal staff and
teach empowerment self-defense to women, children, and those with special needs.
Presently, El HaLev employs 38 female instructors making us
the largest single employer of women marital ar�sts worldwide
Each instructor gets approximately 300 hours of teacher training.
In 2017, El HaLev provided 86 hours of con�nuing educa�on
for our teaching staff.

The Global Movement for Empowerment Self-Defense
Headed by Yehudit Zicklin-Sidikman, the CEO of the Associa�on, El HaLev leads the global movement
for empowerment self-defense. Thanks to the accumulated knowledge of the Associa�on and its vast
experience, and based on its commitment to the concept of “�kun olam”, it established ESD GLOBAL: a
global organiza�on for empowerment self-defense. The goal of this organiza�on is to offer interna�onal
training courses that focus on subjects and skills that were developed in Israel, and to distribute life-saving
tools of empowerment self-defense to vulnerable popula�ons all over the world, including in developing
countries.
In the summer of 2017, the Associa�on ini�ated and led an interna�onal camp, conducted by Israelis,
to train empowerment self-defense instructors. Many women par�cipated, coming from Chile, Canada,
The Netherlands, Belize, England, The Dominican Republic and from several US states including New York,
Washington, Utah, Virginia, California, Ohio, Chicago, Rhode Island and North Dakota. In 2018, the
number of the par�cipants is expected to double and include women from all con�nents. Moreover, these
days, the Associa�on is crea�ng a ground-breaking project: the first online library to contain all the
informa�on that El HaLev has accumulated in its 15 years of existence. Addi�onal interna�onal endeavors
are in mo�on to collect other relevant materials, which will be translated into various languages and assist
the worldwide movement of empowerment self-defense.
18. In 2017, 57,845 people visited the El HaLev website.
The English website was visited by 3036 people.
75% of these were new visitors!
Educa�on and Informa�on
Providing informa�on about violence preven�on through self-defense is an important part of the ac�vi�es of El
HaLev. It distributes the informa�on through lectures, informa�on booths, par�cipa�on in various conferences, social
media, and the El HaLev website. Not only is the website a source of knowledge about the classes and the way to enroll, it
also serves as a rich and wide-ranging informa�on center. It offers an array of valuable resources, updated research,
posi�on papers, and informa�on which dismantles s�gmas and provide answers to frequently asked ques�ons. In 2017, El
HaLev proudly launched its English website.
El HaLev also has ac�ve and dynamic Facebook pages and groups, among them: women se�ng healthy
boundaries, El HaLev הלב אל; a YouTube channel yehudit zicklin-sidikman and an Instagram account elhalev, which are
other ways of providing informa�on and nurturing our connec�on with our supporters and followers.
19. Ac�vity in the Public Realm
El HaLev ini�ates an array of collabora�ons and projects with the state and various municipali�es to advance social
awareness and policy-change, regarding the eradica�on and the preven�on of violence towards vulnerable popula�ons in
society.
We do this by ac�vely par�cipa�ng in Knesset commi�ees, and especially in the Commi�ee on the Status of
Women and Gender Equality and the Special Commi�ee for the Rights of the Child, and by submi�ng posi�on papers,
enhancing the discourse in the commi�ees, and cul�va�ng our �es with policy-makers.
We also have a frui�ul collabora�on with the Municipality, and we work jointly with the City without Violence
Ini�a�ve and the advisors for the advancement of the status of women and gender equality, who support our ac�vi�es.
This creates a systemic basis for a broad array of programs for children, young women, and women.
We believe that our ac�vity in the public sphere, combined with our ac�vity in communi�es, will help us realize
our wish for social change.
