About This Curriculum
Built for middle schoolers
This research-based curriculum covers what middle schoolers are facing for the first time: social media anxiety and screen-time balance, technology addiction, communication and conflict resolution online, cyberbullying and hateful posting, cyber safety and online predators, their digital footprint, and simple rules for using technology responsibly.
What It Does
Designed to reinforce ā or stand alone
Use it to reinforce a live presentation, or as a complete stand-alone unit. Each topic is broken into a short video segment, a guided discussion, and an activity. Sexting and sextortion can be included by request, with age-appropriate coverage of the risks and the social and legal implications.
š” Why We Created This Curriculum
We built this curriculum because a single presentationāno matter how powerfulāisnāt enough to create real, lasting change. So we created this fun, interactive curriculum to reinforce the lessons all year long, turning one memorable assembly into a message that actually sticks.
This curriculum is designed to pair with our dynamic and engaging live in-person, virtual, or on-demand digital wellness and social media safety presentationsāreinforcing the presentationās message so it makes a deeper, lasting impact within your school. It also works beautifully as a stand-alone curriculum on its own.
