What time does each lesson take?
More or less an hour – depending on the size of the group and their ability to master the information.

How often should a lesson be scheduled for?
Preferably once, but not more than twice a week, far apart, say Monday and Thursday, or Tuesday and Friday to allow for the information to sink in and to give the participants time to apply their new acquired knowledge.

Can the children work on their own?
Yes, but teacher assistance is important for integrating the information and to give support and guidance.

Is it essential for the presenter to have prior knowledge of bullying and emotional intelligence?
No. The lessons are planned and presented in such a way that the presenter does not need to be too knowledgeable about the topics. Also, with the program, the school receives a presenters manual that explains the expectations of each lesson as well as the information the presenter will need for the lesson.

How many children can work together at the same time?
It is essential that each child has the opportunity to formulate his or her own responses to really benefit fully. With the younger children each one needs personal attention, so the size of the group will be for the presenter’s judgement. For the teens the ideal would be if each child has access to a computer. If not, let them take turns on the computer.

Do we have to stick to the age limits suggested?
No. You may use your own discretion.
