Grades 6-12. The Owning Up Curriculum, written and developed by
Rosalind Wiseman, author of The New York Times bestseller
Queen Bees and Wannabes, provides a structured program for
teaching students to own up and take responsibility — as perpetrators,
bystanders, and targets — for unethical behavior. The curriculum is designed
for adolescent groups in schools and other settings.
The Owning Up Curriculum presents a unique and comprehensive
approach to preventing youth violence by targeting the root causes of bullying
and other forms of social cruelty. It exposes the cultural expectations that
teach young people to humiliate and dehumanize others as the way to achieve
power and respect, then challenges them to transform this dynamic. The
program also addresses the nuanced ways in which racism, classism, and
homophobia are expressed in our culture and affect social cruelty and
violence.
Separate sessions for girls and for boys combine group discussions, games,
role-playing, and other activities to engage students in understanding the
complexities of adolescent social culture. Students learn to recognize that
they have a responsibility to treat themselves and others with dignity and to
speak out against social cruelty and injustice.
A CD of reproducible program forms and student handouts is included with
the curriculum. |
