UAA PACE, 500-Level Upper Division Course

Graded

COURSE OVERVIEW

Our students deserve a world they can navigate with a strong sense of self, and the courage to make social change. Learners Edge is proud to partner again with IndieFlix to provide video clips and resources from the film,The Upstanders, to support both SEL and brain science related to bullying prevention. This course provides tools to empower bystanders to become upstanders, and it encourages victims that there is safety in remaining strong in who they are. Learners create activities focused on empathy, and well-being, and analyze bullying prevention policies for equity and inclusion. Educators will leave this course understanding the complicated nature of bullying and the many ways they and their students can be part of the solution.
