Material provided includes lesson plans, class exercises, student handouts, and discussion points for educators with guidelines for teaching the lesson plans. The sixth grade lessons include: Class 1: "What is a Boundary?" provides information on boundaries from the personal through the geo-political and defines the meaning and role of boundaries in student relationships and experiences. Class 2: "Measuring Personal Space" explores the individual expectation of personal space boundaries. Class 3: "Introduce Respecting Boundaries" identifies the difference between behaviors that are acceptable and behaviors that are against school policy or against the law. Class 4: "Mapping Safe and Unsafe Spaces at School" helps identify where (exact locations) in the school the students feel "hot" and where they feel "cool"; provides information for the school to use in order to develop a "cooler" school environment; empowers students to transform "hot" areas into "cool" areas by examining why they consider particular locations to be "hot"; and what the school can do to make those areas "cooler." The seventh grade lessons include two additional classes: 1) "Big Deal or No Big Deal?" provides guidance on infractions which are no big deal, against school rules or against the law. 2) "Says Who" questionnaire/"What Can I Do?" provides a definition of sexual harassment; dispels common myths about sexual harassment; and raises awareness of the prevalence of sexual harassment. Included is a Respecting Boundaries Agreement (RBA) along with staff guidelines for the introduction and signing of the RBA. Appendix
