The musical production Wicked has partnered with BullyBust (a National School Climate Center program) and created a downloadable tool-kit for teachers and a coordinating student packet. (In case you haven't seen or read Wicked, it is the story of the Wicked Witch before she meets Dorothy. Because she is different, and green, she is bullied). The teacher packet includes: The Story of WICKED, What Is “Upstander” Behavior?, Bully-Victim-Bystander, Learning to Empathize, A Look at Appearances, Exploring Emotions, Upstander Behavior in WICKED, and The Stand Up Pledge: Elphaba’s Pledge and Commitment Cards using the theme of Wicked throughout.
The student pack includes information on responsibility, the roots of bullying, what you can do to stop bullying, cyberbullying, etc. There is also an essay contest - the winning student wins a flight and ticket to see Wicked (only one entry per school).
