AMBERLEY VILLAGE — Faculty and staff from eight Catholic and several public schools get a lesson on intergroup relations today during a Hands Across the Campus workshop at Temple Sholom, 3100 Longmeadow Lane.

        The American Jewish Committee is sponsoring the workshop, 8 a.m. to 2:30 pm. Reservations were required.

        “The purpose is to help teachers improve intergroup climate at their schools,” said Barbara Glueck, executive director of the Cincinnati Chapter of the American Jewish Committee. “We are trying to build respect among teachers and students who may have different backgrounds.

        Gladys Gossett Hankins, a retired manager of training and organization at Procter & Gamble and author of Shaking the Diversity Blues, will lead the sessions.

        “The sessions will be very interactive. I am talking with teachers and how they are in touch with prejudice and how they react to it,” Ms. Hankins said.

        She said she will draw from her book, which deals with racism and sexism.

        “Prejudice comes through a socializing process, which starts in the early stages of life,” she said.

        Students act out the expectations of teachers, she said, and it is necessary that teachers come to grips with themselves and deal with how to make changes.

        The American Jewish Committee has offered Hands Across the Campus workshops for eight years.
