This year I had the opportunity to work with CBE Comprehensive School Health and Canadian Red Cross to bring together a number of colleagues to support the building of our Leadership program here Lord Beaverbrook High School.
Beyond the Hurt (BTH) Youth Facilitator Training is helpingus create a safe, bullying-free, and healthy environment for our students. Our BTH teacher training took place over the course of two days and built capacity in our Leadership teachers to educateand train students in becoming peer instructors themselves. Since then, our grade 10 level Leadership students are working with ourteacherswith content ranging from the power of a label to how to take proactive action and promote healthy relationships.

Our goal by June 2016, is for our grade 11 and 12 Leadership students to be working with the community to educate younger students at feeder schools andimplement the grade appropriate lessons themselves! By doing this, not only are we planting a seed for understanding and promoting healthy relationship in our own school, but also allows our students to be positive role models for youth in the community as well. Our long term goal (2017) is to have our grade 12 Leadership students educate our CALM classes and help organize a number of healthy relationship initiatives in the school.
As a teacher, my task design improved greatly for my classes as the implementation overlaps nicely with the Leadership curriculum with the 10’s Speaking and Presenting module, the 20’s Interpersonal Relationships module, and the 30’s Peer Mentoring and Extending the Mentoring Relationship modules. A huge win-win for education and wellness at Lord Beaverbrook High School! Go LORDS!
