Girls Curriculum
A semester includes 9 sessions
Making Snap Judgements
First impressions can be misleading. When we are curious insead of making early judgements, we stay open-minded to seeing the good in someone we don't know well.
The Language of Bullying
The terms, the roles in a bullying situation and deconstructing a bullying scenario. We discuss norms and beliefs that can contribute to poor behavior by a bully.
Healthy and Unhealthy Friendships
Differentiate healthy and unhealthy friendships, including cliques and spreading rumors.
Self Esteem & Role Models
We introduce self esteem and how self confidence is such an important character trait. Girls identify positive attributes of themselves and then consider attributes of a woman they look up to personally.
Being a Leader
Leadership qualities come from inside, and also from people around you. Good leaders know how to work as a team and look for unique abilities in everyone. We talk about leaders and followers and how important both of them are.
Cyberbullying - 2 Sessions
Technology's impact on bullying is staggering. Girls learn to identify cyberbullying behavior, to "take a stand" against this behavior, and agree on ways they will behave the right way - and safely - online.
Time to Share & Celebrate
Girls invite their parents or other role models to celebrate what they learned, the topic that most inspired them and what they’ll do to STEP UP in and outside of school to put their new learning into practice.
