No Name Calling Week Grant Applications Available

During the week of January 21-25, 2008, hundreds of middle schools from across the country will take part in educational activities aimed at ending name-calling and verbal bullying of all kinds. No Name-Calling Week draws national attention to the problem of name-calling in schools and provides students and educators with the tools and inspiration to launch an on-going dialogue about ways to eliminate name-calling in their schools. The week was inspired by The Misfits, a book by popular young adult author James Howe.

Because of generous donations by longtime GLSEN Connecticut supporters, middle school educators can apply to receive a resource guide with lesson plans, a video for classroom use, and other promotional materials to assist in facilitating the week’s activities. This kit, which ordinarily costs $129.95 includes:

- a 27-minute VHS educational video, No Name-Calling: Creating Safe Environments, produced by Human Relations Media

- a resource guide with lesson plans, resource lists, and other curricular material

- a copy of The Misfits

- two No Name-Calling Week posters

- two packs of No Name-Calling Week stickers (60 total)

General NNCW Resources:

If you would like to receive a kit for use in your middle school, please download the application in the right column and submit by email to glsenct@earthlink.net.
