This section includes specific lesson plans and classroom activities that address HIB from a number of important perspectives.  All lessons are correlated with Core Curriculum Content Standards and include suggested enduring understandings and essential questions.

Each section contains specific lesson plans and classroom activities aligned with Core Standards.

Lessons “infuse” anti-bullying themes within established department curricula. Lessons guide teachers on how to use class material to illuminate the dynamics of HIB in a subtle, yet targeted way.  Lesson plans are aligned with Core Standards.
