Middle School
The Boston Area Rape Crisis center is committed to providing materials and support to middle school educators interested in preventing sexual violence.
Curriculum
The Boston Area Rape Crisis Center has led hundreds of workshops for middle school students over the last 20 years. We want to share this experience with other educators. We have prepared a formal curriculum for each of our most popular workshops. Each curriculum includes:
- An Overview that includes: instructor qualifications, recommended length, intended audience, a short description including the goals and required materials.
- The research foundation for the curriculum.
- The logic model or reason that we think that this curriculum will meet its goals.
- In depth instructions for each activity including learning objectives, detailed trainers notes, and questions to expect.
- Handouts.
Respecting Boundaries

This session includes discussion and activities about the difficulty of respecting boundaries with friends and peers.
