ChoicePoint Lesson Plan:
| Day 1: |
We take a look at bullying, social bullying, and cyber bullying and define these terms, find out student's values and solicit
student's anonymous stories.
|
| Day 2: |
We examine who gets targeted and how it plays out for both genders. |
| Day 3: |
We brainstorm the choices available to students and give them a chance to embody these choices through role plays.
We also read student's stories from day 1.

ChoicePoint trained over 1,141 students in six different schools for the 08-09 school year! Of those 1,141, 94% of participants report becoming more aware of the importance of becoming an ally, and 90% of participants report becoming more aware of ways to help someone being targeted. (Bully, target and ally are all terms used in the training.)
Peer Mediation: Peer Mediation is a form of conflict resolution in which trained students help their peers work together to resolve everyday disputes. Mediation Works partners with Jackson County schools (elementary through high school) through consultation, training, and support to develop the Peer Mediation Programs.
The schools that currently have mediation programs are Jefferson, Roosevelt and Wilson Elementary Schools; McLoughlin and Hedrick Middle Schools; and Phoenix and Medford Opportunity High Schools.
