Personal Safety Video

In Health class we have been looking at the different ways to be safe -Fire Safety, Road and Car Safety, Water Safety, Internet Safety and Personal Safety. My students made Public Service Announcements (PSAs) about each type of safety and I was really impressed with what they came up with.

Next class, we'll continue looking at personal safety.I will be showing the attached video in class. Please note it is aligned with what is in the curriculum.

Take a look at the expectations:

identify people (e.g., parents, guardians, neighbours, teachers, crossing guards, police, older students, coaches, elders) and supportive services (e.g., help lines, 9-1-1, Telehealth, public health units, student services) that can assist with injury prevention, emergencies, bullying, and abusive and violent situations

demonstrate the ability to deal with threatening situations by applying appropriate living skills (e.g., personal skills, including self-monitoring and anger management; interpersonal skills, including conflict resolution skills; communication skills, including assertiveness and refusal skills) and safety strategies (e.g., having a plan and thinking before acting; looking confident; being aware of surroundings; seeking help; drawing on cultural teachings, where appropriate, to analyse situations and develop responses)

explain how a person’s actions (e.g., negative actions such as name calling, making homophobic or racist remarks, mocking appearance or ability, excluding, bullying, sexual harassment; positive actions such as praising, supporting, including) can affect the feelings, self-concept, emotional well-being, and reputation of themselves and others
