Across the country, students and teachers are sharing stories, joining together and taking action to create safe schools free from stereotypes, intolerance and hate. They’re part of a movement called Not In Our School (NIOS).
Notinourschool.org offers films, lesson plans, and resources with an opportunity to join the network of NIOS educators.
A NIOS campaign is an ongoing commitment to create a safer school climate. Each campaign takes on the characteristics of the school community and responds to local issues and needs. A NIOS campaign mobilizes students to be “upstanders” who take action to stand up for themselves or others and create a climate that reflects the values of safety, respect and inclusion in these ways:
- Identification of problems of intolerance and bullying
- Solutions defined by students and peer-to-peer
- Collective voice
By the end of th
is session, participants will:
