Teacher Notes:


The lessons are fairly similar set up as for format:1- Introduction of topic3- Watch Film clip4- Discuss Film5- Class Activities
Please print out each document for every student to have:
-Parent Take Home Letter-Glossary-Is It Grooming?-To Share or Not to Share-Safety Bill of Rights

This lesson will cover topics such as Sexual Abuse, Grooming, Ways abusers test boundaries, staying safe online and getting help.
There are some times where the class will need to discuss the worksheets, or a few questions. Please help facilitate the class discussions, hand out materials and if questions arise that you feel comfortable answering please do so or reach out to myself to assist with those as you see fit.
It will be beneficial for each student to have a file folder so that they can keep these materials together for all their lessons.
