Our guide for educators is an all-inclusive resource that will empower you to help students develop their ability to have healthy relationships and step up to prevent sexual violence. Use the lesson plans developed by educators to create classroom activities that are age-appropriate and explicitly tied to the Ontario curriculum. Using the Draw the Line lesson plans, younger students develop the skills they need to: Stand up for themselves and assert their boundaries; Show respect for others, including respecting others’ boundaries; Trust their instinct and get help when things don’t feel right. Older students develop the skills they need to: Understand and apply the concept of consent; Develop respectful, equitable, and healthy relationships; Be active bystanders and intervene safely and effectively to prevent sexual violence.
