In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, ASCIP will be highlighting one of the key strategies available to members through the CAARE Program (Child Anti-Assault Response and Education). KnowGO is a curriculum and tool kit designed to increase educators and districts ability to prevent childhood sexual abuse by providing students with the critical awareness, skills, and knowledge needed to protect themselves at school and online. The curriculum has been strategically designed to nurture age-appropriate, honest, transparent discussions of safety, promote trust in safe adults and build confidence in identifying unsafe situations. The engaging curriculum and activities increase awareness of grooming behaviors, boundary pushing and potential risky situations—which is key to the safety of our children. The curriculum may be incorporated interactively into the classroom, school-wide activities, and take home family exercises. The combination of the dynamic, vibrant animations and engaging, insightful activities will facilitate a life changing experience for students grades 1-5.
