Gearing Up for the Hard Work of Healthy Relationships

60 minutes

This lesson is currently under review with Nest Educational Advisors. Please check back later for updates.

This lesson begins to build the foundations for an effective classroom environment, which will allow us to explore topics including vulnerability, power, oppression, and abuse. We will engage in community building activities and discuss our classroom agreements that center on participation, listening, and respect. We will also provide students with trigger warnings, and speak about why we might need such warnings. The information that we will be covering throughout the unit can be emotionally difficult to discuss, therefore it is imperative that a safe space, based on respectful communication is created and sustained throughout.
