Standing up, Not Standing By:
We created this free toolkit to help you take on those questions and take an effective stand against cyberbullying. So start here. Use it now. Rely on it to start your year off right.
Your own personal toolkit
|
Use this kit to stop cyberbullies in their tracks. It has the materials you need to show students how to stand up when they see digital harassment happening and to help you create a positive school culture where kids can thrive – both online and off. It offers easy access to our two best lessons on cyberbullying for each grade level. You'll find engaging, turn-key instruction for your classroom. |
And since parents are worried and confused about cyberbullying, too, we've also included a grade level "workshop in a box" that you can use to bolster your parent involvement efforts this back-to-school season and beyond. We hope you'll share this kit with every teacher, media specialist, tech coordinator, administrator, and parent leader in your community to get them on board. |
