We are pleased to annouce that The Character Education Partnership has partnered with CyberSmart! to announce the release of the CyberSmart! Cyberbullying Awareness Curriculum, a positive and empowering suite of K-12 lessons provided free to schools. The new curriculum is designed to guide students to think and act creatively and critically, defining the problems and issues themselves and thus “owning” them. Without this ownership, no behavioral change can occur. In developing these lessons, CyberSmart! adopted an integrated approach, examining all current research findings and using best practices from the fields of cyber security, school violence prevention, and character education to impact behavioral change. This carefully developed cyberbullying package
The complete cyberbullying package consists of
Cyberbullying is a manageable problem, and schools can lead the way in order to prepare students for work and citizenship in the 21st century. Together, these materials help schools get started in the prevention of cyberbullying at the classroom level, and include outreach to families and the community. The new CyberSmart! Cyberbullying Awareness Curriculum is available free of charge and can be accessed now at http://cybersmartcurriculum.org/cyberbullying/cep/ |
"Cybersmart!'s free cyberbully lessons allow face-to-face character education to be extended into cyberspace." --Dr. Merle Schwartz “Experts define cyberbullying as intentional and repeated use of computer and cell phone networks by kids and teens to cause harm or distress to other kids and teens. It’s not about contact with strangers or predators and should not be addressed through fear tactics. Cyberbullying must be addressed by schools in order to prepare students for work and citizenship in the 21st century.” --Mala Bawer, Executive Director of CyberSmart! Education The entire curriculum is available free of charge. See curriculum here. |
