T.I.M.E. with Dwayne Peace and Lisa Dixon–Wells

Take the T.I.M.E. Student Day

Grades 5 – 8

In response to the research that has found that the peak years for bullying are between Grades 5 – 8, the Dare to Care program has created another student day specifically designed for that age group. Our new initiative, Take the T.I.M.E., is a combination of assembly style presentations, small group activities, games and larger group discussions. Through the carefully designed progression of activities, students will be better able to understand the damage that bullying, cliques, peer pressure, racism, and oppression can cause in individuals and communities. As well, because the goal of the Dare to Care program is to mobilize the silent majority of students into action, the Take the T.I.M.E. day provides several forums for students to talk about their fears and why they remain silent in bullying situations.

Throughout the student day, participants will discover that there is strength in numbers and that they truly do have the power to make significant changes in their school climate. Through the process of the student day, students, teachers, and parents will be shown how to shift the imbalance of power to create the school of their dreams.
