Virtual Program
In the midst of 2020, the Operation Aware team converted over 40 lessons into video presentations to reach distance learning students virtually. Our prevention education team transferred as much of the personal learning experience possible from our 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, and High School programs into the content. These presentations include the tools and skills our lessons highlight along with examples of implementation so that students have a clear picture of how to use them.
Virtual Plus
The Virtual Plus add-on includes a 15-minute weekly Q&A session with a trained Prevention Educator who visits the classroom through Zoom or Google Meets platforms. As a result, students still connect with our educators in a way that is hard to describe. They ask questions and practice the skills together so they are prepared for the social situations they will encounter in life.
An Owen Elementary teacher had this to say, “I have invited your program into my classroom for over 10 years now. This is a wonderful avenue for discussions about some difficult topics. It is clearly laid out and presented in a manner that my 4th graders understand and can be challenged by. I am sad for the years my class did not experience this. I am amazed at how you were able to take the program and make it happen even virtually.”
