| Self Awareness/Self Defense: A Unit that Every High School Girl Should Take! |
| Every high school across America should include a self-awareness / self-defense unit in the physical education curriculum. Come experience what two high schools in New York are teaching their female students to prevent assault and rape. The unit teaches students how to make themselves safe in various situations (including while running, walking and bicycling) as well as the actual self-defense techniques. Participants will receive a CD-rom with handouts reproducible for their students and lesson plans. This workshop is hands-on to get hands off! |
