No Name Calling Week Grant Applications Available
Jan 01, 2009
Each year in January 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)
