Students learn basic skills about respecting their own and others’ boundaries as they collaborate with peers, problem solve and reflect on their experiences – things they do
in all subjects throughout their studies – for example in the arts, mathematics, language/English, social studies, and social sciences and humanities. They can apply these skills as they learn about consent and learn to make healthy decisions about their relationships.
Younger students in grades 1, 2 and 3 learn about consent by:
• Listening and stopping if someone asks them to stop saying or doing something
• Sharing space in the classroom
• Showing respect for others through their words and actions
• Taking turns with equipment in physical education and in the classroom
• Asking someone to stop if the other person is talking or acting in a way that is bothering them.
Younger students learn about:
• Standing up for themselves
• Listening actively – paying attention not only to words but also to facial expressions, tone of voice and body language
• Behaving in ways that do not cause harm to others or themselves
• Showing respect for others.
四年级以及四年级以上学生学习健康关系和同意的方式和内容
• Continue to develop skills to:
– Show respect, listen, respond to other people’s needs
– Communicate, be assertive, say “no”
• Learn specifically about what respect, healthy relationships and sexual consent “look like”
• Learn about the legal, social and emotional consequences of not paying attention to consent
• Learn how to report issues and how to get help from a caring adult or through community resources (e.g., police, doctors, public health units, friendship centres).
Using case studies, scenarios and discussions, teachers help students learn that:
• Both people in a relationship need to be actively involved in giving consent in an ongoing way
• Consent to one sexual activity does not mean consent to all activities
• Only “yes” means “yes”
• Consent cannot be assumed.
