A new draft curriculum for 10th to 12th graders has been written by Laura Richlin and Vic Compher to accompany the film. This draft curriculum is being piloted in two programs this summer: the Arts and Spirituality Centers’ Teen Tech Team video program at Lincoln High School in NE Philadelphia and through Mothers in Charge’s various summer youth programs.
With the latter group, Vic will be orienting young adult staff members of Mothers in Charge within a Training the Trainer series; these youth leaders/ mentors will also serve as a focus group, providing valuable input and feedback on the curriculum. They will facilitate additional focus groups with teenagers, while testing out the curriculum in various academic settings for teens.
The final draft of the curriculum, incorporating the young people’s input, will be available for purchase in the fall of 2010. Note that we are be using within the curriculum an additional 26 minute documentary film, called Stop the Violence, which was produced by Dorothy Johnson-Speight of Mothers in Charge.
