Fifth Grade

The Safer, Smarter Kids Fifth Grade Curriculum lessons encourage students to find the courage from within to advocate for themselves and others as they transition to middle school. Topics include understanding peer pressure, digital safety, setting your own boundaries and recognizing others’ boundaries, managing bullying both online and in the real world, and more.

Through a series of 5 engaging lessons, students join Lauren, her friend Rodney, and kids at the neighborhood rec center learn about personal safety, the effect their actions have on one another, and the importance of standing up for what is right.

With each lesson, students will answer questions about a concept to determine background knowledge, watch a video, answer questions to determine learning gains, participate in whole group instruction with the teacher (detailed scripted lesson and visuals provided), and complete a variety of engaging activities to practice and apply the skills and concepts introduced. Caregiver Connection letters and activities provide detailed information for each lesson and allows safety learning to extend into the home.

Designed for use with face-to-face, blended, and digital learning.

TESTIMONIAL

“After just one lesson, my students are already using the common language and applying the concepts. I was walking through the halls one day and a student approached me and asked me if my administrators were my grown-up buddies and part of my Trusted Triangle.”

TESTIMONIAL

"The Safer, Smarter Kids Curriculum is by far the most exciting and engaging student empowerment curriculum I have ever encountered. Once I was exposed to the curriculum, I knew I had to get it into every school in Pasco County. The thoughtful educators who developed the curriculum should be commended for their insight and understanding not only of child development, but also the need for the implementation to be simple for educators."

TESTIMONIAL

"I have been a school guidance counselor for 18 years and began using Safer, Smarter Kids Curriculum last year in grades K-3. I wanted you to know that this program is the best I have ever seen...one of the few educational resources regarding safety/abuse/prevention that is available for school counselors and yet completely perfect for the age group I teach. This program is a HIT with all of my students… I just wanted to say THANK YOU!"
