Not In Our School CampaignAcross the country, students and teachers are sharing stories, joining together and taking action to create safe schools free from stereotypes, intolerance and hate. They’re part of a movement called Not In Our School (NIOS).
Notinourschool.org offers films, lesson plans, and resources with an opportunity to join the network of NIOS educators.
A NIOS campaign is an ongoing commitment to create a safer school climate. Each campaign takes on the characteristics of the school community and responds to local issues and needs. A NIOS campaign mobilizes students to be “upstanders” who take action to stand up for themselves or others and create a climate that reflects the values of safety, respect and inclusion in these ways:
- Identification of problems of intolerance and bullying
- Solutions defined by students and peer-to-peer
