Course Length

This course was designed for educators who work with minors. After consulting with industry experts, the course aims to help educators:

  • Identify what boundaries are
  • Differentiate between different types of boundaries
  • Recognize how boundaries differ from rules
  • Understand how a boundary crossing is different than a boundary violation
  • Stay vigilant when they sense their actions or a student's actions are approaching a boundary
  • Recognize the consequences for themselves and their students when boundaries are crossed

The course uses scenarios and interactive exercises to illustrate how easily educators can find themselves in a situation where boundaries are being approached and how they can safely navigate away from boundaries.
